READ:vectors

ASCII

 Syntax: READ file{\line_range} x1{\c1} { x2{\c2} ... } 
         READ\FORMAT file{\line_range} (frmt) x1 { x2 ... } 
 Qualifiers: \FORMAT, \CONTINUE, \CLOSE, \APPEND, \ERRSTOP
             \ERRSKIP, \ERRFILL, \OVERLAY, \EXTEND, \MESSAGES
 Defaults: \-FORMAT, \-CONTINUE, \-CLOSE, \-APPEND, \ERRSTOP
           \-OVERLAY, \EXTEND, \MESSAGES, cI = I

 By default, or if the \ASCII qualifier is used, the file is assumed to
 be an ASCII file and is read by records, starting with the first record.

  • UNFORMATTED

     Syntax: READ\UNFORMATTED file{\line_range} (frmt) x1 { x2 ... } 
     Qualifiers: \CONTINUE, \CLOSE, \EXTEND, \APPEND, \OVERLAY, \MESSAGES
     Defaults: \-CONTINUE, \-CLOSE, \EXTEND, \-APPEND, \-OVERLAY, \MESSAGES
    
     If the \UNFORMATTED qualifier is used, the file is assumed to be an

     binary files, by record or stream, are indicated by the prescription,
     (frmt), paramter, which is required with the \UNFORMATTED qualifier.
