Input/Output
10.6.6 End-of-File Specifier
The form of an end-of-file specifier in an input/output statement is:
END = s
s is a statement label. When an end-of-file condition occurs, execution is transferred to the
statement labelled by s.
If an end-of-file condition occurs during the execution of an input/output statement and the END= specifier
is present then execution of the program is not terminated.
10.7 Printing of Formatted Records
Printing occurs when formatted records are transferred to a device which interprets the first character of the
record as a special spacing command. The remaining characters in the record are "printed". Printing can be
accomplished by use of either the PRINT statement or the WRITE statement. What actually determines
whether or not you are "printing" is the device (or file) to which records are transferred.
The first character of the record controls the vertical spacing. This feature is quite often called ASA
(American Standards Association) carriage control.

The "−" control character is an extension to the FORTRAN 77 language that is supported by many
"printing" devices.
