Carriage Control
Some Review and Additional
Thoughts About Format and
Input/Output Statements
indicate the termination of a "record." This is not too significant when you are
printing because a "record" is merely a line of information. If you are using card
output, the end of a record means the end of punching in one card and the re-
maining variables
are punched in the next card. If you are using paper tape out-
put, the termination of a record means that an end-of-line character is punched
into the tape and the remaining variables are punched into the following tape
record.
Blank lines
can be included in printed output by inserting slashes into a
multiline format. N
+ 1 consecutive slashes produce N blank lines if it is in-
cluded between two specifications. N slashes before the first specification, or
after the last specification produce N blank lines (using the slash in card and
paper tape output is possible, but of limited value).
The FORMAT statement is also used to provide 1443 Printer carriage control in-
structions. A
FORMAT statement for PRINT must begin with 1H followed by the
appropriate control character shown below for each record:
b
(blank)
o
1 through 9
For example:
Single space before printing
Double space before printing
Skip to Printer control
channels 1
through 9.
PRINT 2,A,B,J
2 FORMAT (1HO,F8.2,F8.3,I8)
This specification
would provide a double space between the printed line and
the previous printed line.
Control characters are not required for typewritten output.
1. Specifications in a FORMAT statement must be in the same mode (fixed
point or floating point) as the corresponding items in the input or output
list. For example:
PRINT 2,A,B,J
2 FORMAT (F8.2,F8.3,I8)
2. If a FORMAT statement specifies more characters to be printed or punched
than there are positions in the output record, the excess characters are
lost.
a. A typewritten line has a maximum of 87 characters.
b. A
punched card has a maximum of 72 positions.
c. A paper tape record has a maximum of 87 characters.
d. A
printed line has a maximum of 120 characters.
3. In data input records, I-type data must be located at the extreme right (to
avoid truncating pertinent data).
4. In an input data record, minus or plus signs must occupy a separate
column of the record. Plus signs may be indicated by a plus symbol or a
blank. A
number without a sign position is assumed to be plus. Blanks in
numerical fields
are regarded as zeros.
5. Numbers for E-type conversion need not have four columns devoted to
