# Forms for Sequential WRITE Statements

Sequential WRITE statements transfer output data to external sequential access records. The statements can be formatted by using format specifiers (which can use list-directed formatting) or namelist specifiers (for namelist formatting), or they can be unformatted.

A sequential WRITE statement takes one of the following forms:

## Formatted:

WRITE (eunit, format [, advance] [, asynchronous] [, decimal ] [, id] [, pos] [, round] [, sign ] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg]) [io-list]

## Formatted - List-Directed:

WRITE (eunit, * [, asynchronous] [, decimal ] [, delim ] [, id] [, pos] [, round ] [, sign ] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg]) [io-list]

## Formatted - Namelist:

WRITE (eunit, nml-group [, asynchronous] [, decimal ] [, delim ] [, id] [, pos] [, round ] [, sign ] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg])

## Unformatted:

WRITE (eunit [, asynchronous] [, id] [, pos] [, iostat] [, err] [, iomsg]) [io-list]
