J3/06-317 Date: 24 October 2006 To: J3 From: Bill Long and John Reid Subject: Issues 42 & 43, teams for preconnected units Reference: J3/06-007r1, J3/06-258 Discussion of issues 42 and 43 (page 220) The intention is not to affect the behaviour on image 1 of preconnected units and the units INPUT_UNIT, OUTPUT_UNIT, ERROR_UNIT, but to limit their use on other images to simple output. The main mechanism for parallel i/o is the direct-access file, connected through an OPEN statement. We agree that the present wording is overly restrictive, and that the connect team for INPUT_UNIT should be image 1. Edits to J3/06-007r1 in the last paragraph of 9.4.5.17 TEAM= specifier in the OPEN statement: [220:7] Remove "INPUT_UNIT," and the comma following OUTPUT_UNIT. [220:9] Replace "an input/output statement" with "a data transfer statement". [220:10] Add a new sentence at the end of the paragraph: "The unit identified by the value INPUT_UNIT in the intrinsic module ISO_FORTRAN_ENV has a connect team consisting of image 1."
