ACCEPT

Statement: Transfers input data.

Syntax

Formatted:

ACCEPT form [, io-list]

Formatted - List-Directed:

ACCEPT * [, io-list]

Formatted - Namelist:

ACCEPT nml

form
Is the nonkeyword form of a format specifier (no FMT=).

io-list
Is an I/O list.

*
Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting.

nml
Is the nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier (no NML=) indicating namelist formatting.

The ACCEPT statement is the same as a formatted, sequential READ statement, except that an ACCEPT statement must never be connected to user-specified I/O units. You can override this restriction by using an environment variable.
