Date: 2007 August 09 NUMBER: F03/0101 TITLE: Is UDDTIO output suitable for namelist and list-director input KEYWORDS: DEFECT TYPE: Erratum STATUS: J3 consideration in progress QUESTION: The first paragraph of 10.9.2 says that the form of the values produced by list-directed output is the same as that required for input. It also says values are separated blanks or commas, etc. The first paragraph of 10.10.2 has similar words for namelist output. It also requires that the variable name be produced in upper case and that the output consist of name-value pairs. Is it intended that output produced by used defined derived type routines conform to these rules? ANSWER: No, it was not intended to constrain the user derived type output values. There should be an exception similar to the one for adjacent undelimited character values. User derived type output fields do not need to be readable by either namelist nor list-directed input EDITS: SUBMITTED BY: Dick Hendrickson HISTORY: 07-xxx m181 F03/00xx Submitted
