Formatter Run-Time Messages
Effect. If the program executed an I/O statement that includes an ERR clause or an
IOSTAT clause, the program retains control. Otherwise, the run-time library terminates
the program.
Recovery. Modify your FORMAT statement to specify the correct type for each data
item specified in the WRITE statement.
272
Cause. A numeric field contains a character other than 0 through 9, a decimal point, a
comma, or a blank.
Effect. If the program executed an I/O statement that includes an ERR clause or an
IOSTAT clause, the program retains control. Otherwise, the run-time library terminates
the program.
Recovery. Correct the input data or change the program to describe correctly the data
the program is reading.
273
Cause. A format specification is syntactically correct but is used in a context in which it
is not valid. For example, the specification F5.5 is valid in a format for input but not for
output.
Effect. If the program executed an I/O statement that includes an ERR clause or an
IOSTAT clause, the program retains control. Otherwise, the run-time library terminates
the program.
Recovery. Change the format specification so that each element of the format is
correct for the context in which it is used.
274
Cause. An input value is too large for the variable in which it was to be stored.
Effect. If the program executed an I/O statement that includes an ERR clause or an
IOSTAT clause, the program retains control. Otherwise, the run-time library terminates
the program.
Recovery. Change the variable that receives the data to accept a larger value or
change the data the program reads to a value that does not exceed the size of the
variable into which it is being read.
Illegal input character for unit nnn
Illegal format for unit nnn
Numeric overflow for unit nnn
