J3/13-330 To: J3 From: David Muxworthy for BSI Fortran Panel Subject: UK-03 - RECL for unlimited records Date: 2013 September 30 Requirements and rationale -------------------------- See N1975. Specification -------------- Standardize the value that will be returned by INQUIRE RECL= for files connected for stream access, with a single value that will be returned by all processors. Syntax ------ The value shall be: HUGE(0), HUGE(0_INT64), -1, -2, or zero. (Straw vote) Edits (relative to 10-007r1) ---------------------------- [intro] Add a new extension description "The maximum record length reported by INQUIRE for a stream access file has been standardized." [239:11] In the description of the RECL= specifier of the INQUIRE statement, replace "the <> becomes undefined" by "the <> is set to the value HUGE(0) {or whatever is determined}". [455:30] Remove an item from the list of events that might cause a variable to become undefined by deleting ", RECL=,".
