The old Fortran programs have used numbering of the format statements. ... The program follows PROGRAM FORMAT IMPLICIT NONE REAL :: X CHARACTER (LEN=11) :: FORM1 CHARACTER (LEN=*), PARAMETER :: FORM2 = "( F12.3,A )" FORM1 = "( F12.3,A )" X = 12.0 PRINT FORM1, X, ' HELLO ' WRITE (*, FORM2) 2*X, ' HI ' WRITE (*, "(F12.3,A )") 3*X, ' HI HI ' END In the PRINT statement we use the character string variable FORM1 with the length 11, which is assigned its value in an explicit assignment statement. ...
