<strong>Language</strong> <strong>Reference</strong><br />

The <strong>FORTRAN</strong> <strong>77</strong> standard specifies that it is illegal to backspace over records that were written using<br />

list-directed formatting; <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Watcom</strong> <strong>FORTRAN</strong> <strong>77</strong> allows it.<br />

If the file has been opened with access ’APPEND’, which is a form of sequential access in which the file<br />

is positioned at the endfile record, then the BACKSPACE statement cannot be used.<br />

For more information on input/output, see the chapter entitled "Input/Output" on page 215.<br />
