ACCEPT

Syntax

Formatted:

ACCEPT form[,io-list]

Formatted - List-Directed:

ACCEPT *[,io-list]

Formatted - Namelist:

ACCEPT nml

form	Is the nonkeyword form of a format specifier (no FMT=).
io-list	Is an I/O list.
*	Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting.
nml	Is the nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier (no NML=) indicating namelist formatting.

The ACCEPT statement is the same as a formatted, sequential READ statement, except that an ACCEPT statement must never be connected to user-specified I/O units. You can override this restriction by using an environment variable.

Example

In the following example, character data is read from the implicit unit and binary values are assigned to each of the five elements of array CHARAR:

     CHARACTER*10 CHARAR(5)

     ACCEPT 200, CHARAR

200  FORMAT (5A10)
