<h4 class="subsection">6.2.2 Variable <code>FORMAT</code> expressions</h4>
|
<a name="index-FORMAT"></a>
|
|
<p>A variable <code>FORMAT</code> expression is format statement which includes
|
angle brackets enclosing a Fortran expression: <code>FORMAT(I<N>)</code>. GNU
|
Fortran does not support this legacy extension. The effect of variable
|
format expressions can be reproduced by using the more powerful (and
|
standard) combination of internal output and string formats. For example,
|
replace a code fragment like this:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample"> WRITE(6,20) INT1
|
20 FORMAT(I<N+1>)
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>with the following:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">c Variable declaration
|
CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT
|
c
|
c Other code here...
|
c
|
WRITE(FMT,'("(I", I0, ")")') N+1
|
WRITE(6,FMT) INT1
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>or with:
|
</p>
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
<pre class="smallexample">c Variable declaration
|
CHARACTER(LEN=20) FMT
|
c
|
c Other code here...
|
c
|
WRITE(FMT,*) N+1
|
WRITE(6,"(I" // ADJUSTL(FMT) // ")") INT1
|
</pre></div>
|
