Formatting of Output to Textfiles
When
f
is a textfile, the result type of
e
need not be char. It may be
any simple, string, or PAC type, or a string literal. The value of
e
may
be formatted as it is written to
f
using the integer field-width
parameters
m
and, for real or longreal values,
n
. If
m
and
n
are
omitted, the system uses default formatting values. Therefore, three
forms of
e
are possible:
e {default formatting}
e:m {when e is any type}
e:m:n {when e is real or longreal}
Table 10-3 shows the system default values for
m
.
