Chapter 10 403
NAMELIST
Names a group of variables for I/O processing.
Syntax
NAMELIST / group-name / var-list [ [ ,]/ group-name / var-list ]...
group-name is a unique namelist group name.
var-list is a comma-separated list of scalar and array variable names.
Description
The NAMELIST statement declares var-list as a namelist group and associates the group
with group-name .
Variables appearing in var-list may be of any type, including objects of derived types or
their components, saved variables, variables on the local stack, and subroutine parameters.
The following, however, are not allowed:
• Record or composite references
• Pointers or their targets
• Automatic objects
• Allocatable array
• Character substrings
• Assumed-size array parameters
• Adjustable-size array parameters
• Assumed-size character parameters
• Individual components of a derived type object
The var-list explicitly defines which items may be read or written in a namelist-directed I/O
statement. It is not necessary for every item in var-list to be defined in namelist-directed
input, but every input item must belong to the namelist group. The order of items in
var-list determines the order of the values written in namelist-directed output.
More than one NAMELIST statement with the same group-name may appear within the same
scoping unit. Each successive var-list in multiple NAMELIST statements with the same
group-name is treated as a continuation of the list for group-name .
