FOR_READ and FOR_PRINT

[kompute]

Can anyone illustrate how to read and write to a file in another directory instead of the current one using FOR_READ and FOR_PRINT?

Wouldn't it be simpler to OPEN the desired file and specify the unit number you opened in READ and WRITE statements?

[kompute]

I have tried using the following statement but the iostat is 29 which seems to be a file not found error.

open (unit=101,file='C: est est',form='BINARY',
+ status='REPLACE',iostat=ret)

The executable is in directory C: est2 est3 est4.

Take out the iostat and what error gets displayed. Does this file not have a file type? Is C: est est a directory? If so you need a full file specification.

With the iostat removed and C: est est.txt (is a full file specification) for clearer illustration. The following errors are displayed:

Probably theenvironment is not pathed to the correct directory.

The environment isn't relevant here. You will get this error if the directory C: est does not exist.

oops... my error. Thanks for your help.
