The CARRIAGECONTROL specifier indicates the type of carriage control used when a file is displayed at a terminal. It takes the following form: 

 CARRIAGECONTROL = cc
cc
Is a scalar default character expression that evaluates to one of the following values:

'FORTRAN'   Indicates normal Fortran interpretation of the first character. 
'LIST'   Indicates one line feed between records. 
'NONE'  Indicates no carriage control processing. 

The default for binary (WNT, W95) and unformatted files is 'NONE'. The default for formatted files is 'LIST'. However, if you use the compiler option specifying OpenVMS defaults, and the unit is connected to a terminal, the default is 'FORTRAN'.
