x04baf is used by NAG Library routines to write formatted records to an external file. All formatted output to an external file from NAG Library routines is performed by calls to x04baf.

5 Arguments

1: $nout$ – Integer Input: On entry: the Fortran unit number which identifies the file to be written to. If $nout < 0$ (not a valid Fortran unit number), then no output occurs. Within the NAG Library nout is always determined by a call to x04aaf or x04abf.
2: $rec$ – Character(*) Input: On entry: a character-string. This is written to the external file as a single record. Trailing blanks are not output, except that if rec is entirely blank, a single blank character is output. If the record is printed, the first character is treated as a carriage-control character.

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

None.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

x04baf is not threaded in any implementation.

10 Example

This example program simply illustrates how a formatted record is output from the NAG Library, by first writing it to the character-string rec, used as an internal file, and then passing the character-string to x04baf.
