Alias: |
BESTw.d, Dw.d, Ew.d, Fw.d
|
-
w
-
specifies the width of the input field.
-
d
-
specifies the power of 10 by which to divide
the value. If the data contain decimal points, the d
value is ignored. This argument is optional.
The w.d informat reads numeric values that are located anywhere in
the field. Blanks can precede or follow a numeric value with no effect. A
minus sign with no separating blank should immediately precede a negative
value. The w.d
informat reads values with decimal points and values in scientific E-notation,
and it interprets a single period as a missing value.
-
The w.d informat is identical to the
BZw.d informat, except that the w.d informat ignores trailing blanks in the numeric
values.
To read trailing blanks as 0s, use the BZw.d informat.
-
The
w.d informat can read values in scientific E-notation exactly
as the Ew.d informat
does.
input @1 x 6. @10 y 6.2;
put x @7 y;
