The form of the data items in an output record is suitable for input using a namelist-directed READ
statement.
1. Output records are written using the ampersand character (&), not the dollar sign ($), although
the dollar sign is accepted as an alternative during input. That is, the output data is preceded by
"&name" and is followed by "&END".
2. All variable and array names specified in the NAMELIST list and their values are written out,
each according to its type.
3. Character data is enclosed in apostrophes.
4. The fields for the data are made large enough to contain all the significant digits.
5. The values of a complete array are written out in columns.
For more information, see the chapters entitled "Format" on page 225 and "Input/Output" on page 215.
