Namelist Items

The namelist items can be of any data type. The items in the namelist can be variables or arrays, and can appear in more than one namelist. Only the items specified in the namelist can be read or written in namelist-directed I/O, but it is not necessary to specify data in the input record for every item of the namelist.

The order of the items in the namelist controls the order in which the values are written in namelist-directed output. The items in the input record can be in any order.
