Input Actions

In general, a formatted read statement does the following:

• Reads character data from the external record or from an internal file.

• Converts the items of the list from character to binary form according to the instructions in the associated format.

• Puts converted data into internal storage for each list item of the list.

Example: Formatted read:

	READ( 6, 10 ) A, B 
10	FORMAT( F8.3, F6.2 )
