Reads from standard input.
Syntax
The syntax of the ACCEPT statement can take one of two forms:
Formatted and list-directed syntax:
ACCEPT format [, input-list ] |
Namelist-directed syntax:
- format
is one of the following:
An asterisk (*), specifying list-directed I/O.
The label of a FORMAT statement containing the format specification.
An integer variable that has been assigned the label
of a FORMAT statement.
An embedded format
specification.
- input-list
is a comma-separated list of data items. The data
items can include variables and implied-DO lists.
- name
is the name of
a namelist group, as previously defined by a NAMELIST statement. Using this syntax, the ACCEPT statement accepts data from standard input and
transfers it to the namelist group. To perform namelist-directed
I/O with a connected file, you must use the READ statement and include the NML= specifier.
Description
The ACCEPT statement is an HP Fortran extension and is provided
for compatibility with other versions of Fortran. The standard READ statement performs the same function, and standard-conforming
programs should use it.
The ACCEPT statement transfers data from standard input to
internal storage. (Unit 5 is preconnected to the HP-UX standard
input.) The ACCEPT statement can be used to perform formatted, list-directed,
and namelist-directed I/O only.
To read data from a connected file, use the READ statement.
Examples
The following example of the ACCEPT statement reads an integer and a floating-point
value from standard input, using list-directed formatting:
INTEGER :: i
REAL :: x
ACCEPT *, i, x |
