Statement: Displays output on the screen. TYPE is a synonym for PRINT. All forms and rules for the PRINT statement also apply to the TYPE statement.
The PRINT statement is the same as a formatted, sequential WRITE statement, except that the PRINT statement must never transfer data to user-specified I/O units. You can override this restriction by using environment variable FOR_PRINT.
A PRINT statement takes one of the following forms:
Formatted:
PRINT form[, io-list]
Formatted - List-Directed:
PRINT *[, io-list]
Formatted - Namelist:
PRINT nml
form  |  
      Is the nonkeyword form of a format specifier (no FMT=).  |  
     
io-list  |  
      Is an I/O list.  |  
     
*  |  
      Is the format specifier indicating list-directed formatting.  |  
     
nml  |  
      Is the nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier (no NML=) indicating namelist formatting.  |  
     
Example
In the following example, one record (containing four fields of data) is printed to the implicit output device:
      CHARACTER*16 NAME, JOB
      PRINT 400, NAME, JOB
400   FORMAT ('NAME=', A, 'JOB=', A) 
   The following shows another example:
!   The following statements are equivalent:
    PRINT     '(A11)', 'Abbottsford'
    WRITE (*, '(A11)') 'Abbottsford'
    TYPE      '(A11)', 'Abbottsford'
