In Compaq Fortran, you can use the
following form for an external record:
$group-name object = value [object = value]...$[END]
- group-name
- Is the name of the group containing the objects to be given
values. The name must have been previously defined in a NAMELIST
statement in the scoping unit.
- object
- Is the name (or subobject designator) of an entity defined in
the NAMELIST declaration of the group name. The object name must
not contain embedded blanks, but it can be preceded or followed by
blanks.
- value
- Is a null value, a constant (or list of constants), a
repetition of constants in the form r*c, or a repetition of null
values in the form r*.
If more than one object=value or more than one value is
specified, they must be separated by value separators.
A value separator is any number of blanks, or a comma or slash,
preceded or followed by any number of blanks.
