A scalar appended to the file name, file\n, specifies the starting record. The first n-1 records will be skipped.
Syntax: READ\SCALARS file{\n} s1{\c1} { s2{\c2} ... }
READ\SCALARS\FORMAT file{\n} (frmt) s1 { s2 ... }
Qualifiers: \FORMAT, \CONTINUE, \CLOSE, \MESSAGES
Defaults: \-FORMAT, \-CONTINUE, \-CLOSE, \MESSAGES, cI = I
By default, or if the \ASCII qualifier is used, the file is assumed to be
an ASCII file, and the first record is read. Specify which record to read
by appending a scalar to the file name as a qualifier, e.g., file\n. By
default, no scalars will be created if an invalid field is encountered
while reading.

Syntax: READ\SCALARS\UNFORMATTED file{\n} (frmt) s1 { s2 ... }
Qualifiers: \CONTINUE, \CLOSE, \MESSAGES
Defaults: \-CONTINUE, \-CLOSE, \MESSAGES
If the \UNFORMATTED qualifier is used, the file is assumed to be an
unformatted binary file. By default, the first record is read. Specify
which record to read by appending a scalar to the file name as a
qualifier, e.g., file\n. No scalars will be created if an invalid field
is encountered while reading. The (frmt) paramter is a prescription that
specifies how the record is to be read and is required when the
\UNFORMATTED qualifier is used. The prescription must be enclosed in
parenthesis, ( and ). The codes R4, R8, I1, I2, I4, L1, L4, Xn indicate
the data type and the number of bytes for each value in the record. The
Xn code is used to skip over n bytes. All values are converted to REAL*8
for internal storage.
