2.66.3 Description of PRINT Statement
The PRINT statement is used to transfer data from the executing FORTRAN program to an external device
or file.
Format Identifier - A format identifier is one of the following:
1. A statement label of a FORMAT statement that appears in the same program unit as the format
identifier.
2. An integer variable name that has been assigned the statement label of a FORMAT statement that
appears in the same program unit as the format identifier (see the ASSIGN statement).
3. An integer array name.
4. A character array name.
5. Any character expression except one involving the concatenation of an operand whose length
specification is (*) unless the operand is a symbolic constant (see the PARAMETER statement).
6. An asterisk (*), indicating list-directed formatting.
Open Watcom FORTRAN 77 supports a variation of list-directed formatting in which the
asterisk (*) may be omitted. It is equivalent to
PRINT * [,olist]
