ioinit

IOINIT(3F)																IOINIT(3F)

NAME

       ioinit - change f77 I/O initialization

SYNOPSIS

       logical function ioinit (cctl, bzro, apnd, prefix, vrbose)
       logical cctl, bzro, apnd, vrbose
       character*(*) prefix

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  will initialize several global parameters in the f77 I/O system, and attach externally defined files to logical units at run
       time.  The effect of the flag arguments applies to logical units opened after ioinit is called.	The exception is the preassigned units,  5
       and 6, to which cctl and bzro will apply at any time.  Ioinit is written in Fortran-77.

       By  default, carriage control is not recognized on any logical unit. If cctl is .true.  then carriage control will be recognized on format-
       ted output to all logical units except unit 0, the diagnostic channel.  Otherwise the default will be restored.

       By default, trailing and embedded blanks in input data fields are ignored. If bzro is .true.  then such blanks will be  treated	as  zeros.
       Otherwise the default will be restored.

       By  default,  all files opened for sequential access are positioned at their beginning.	It is sometimes necessary or convenient to open at
       the END-OF-FILE so that a write will append to the existing data.  If apnd is .true.  then files opened subsequently on	any  logical  unit
       will be positioned at their end upon opening.  A value of .false.  will restore the default behavior.

       Ioinit  may  be	used to associate file names with Fortran logical unit numbers through environment variables (see "Introduction to the f77
       I/O Library" for a more general way of doing this).  If the argument prefix is a non-blank string, then names of the form prefixNN will	be
       sought  in  the	program  environment.  The  value  associated with each such name found will be used to open logical unit NN for formatted
       sequential access.  For example, if f77 program myprogram included the call

	    call ioinit (.true., .false., .false., 'FORT', .false.)

       then when the following sequence

	     % setenv FORT01 mydata
	     % setenv FORT12 myresults
	     % myprogram

       would result in logical unit 1 opened to file mydata and logical unit 12 opened to file myresults.  Both files would be positioned at their
       beginning.   Any  formatted  output would have column 1 removed and interpreted as carriage control.  Embedded and trailing blanks would be
       ignored on input.

       If the argument vrbose is .true.  then ioinit will report on its activity.

       The effect of

	    call ioinit (.true., .true., .false., '', .false.)

       can be achieved without the actual call by including ``-lI66'' on the f77 command line.	This gives carriage control on all  logical  units
       except 0, causes files to be opened at their beginning, and causes blanks to be interpreted as zero's.

       The internal flags are stored in a labeled common block with the following definition:

	    integer*2 ieof, ictl, ibzr
	    common /ioiflg/ ieof, ictl, ibzr

FILES

       /usr/lib/libI77.a       f77 I/O library
       /usr/lib/libI66.a       sets older fortran I/O modes

SEE ALSO

       getarg(3F), getenv(3F), ``Introduction to the f77 I/O Library''

BUGS

       Prefix can be no longer than 30 characters.  A pathname associated with an environment name can be no longer than 255 characters.

       The ``+'' carriage control does not work.
