Advancing output to new page

Floyd_Pfeffer · November 7, 2018, 04:07

I am writing code in Fortran 95. I write data to files using the WRITE statement with a format. Most files fit on one page but I just wrote one that is several pages long. I want to insert what would be called a "page break" in WORD. So that the output skips to the top of the next page before writing.
I have read that the descriptor 1 is to be used to advance to next page but I can't seem to get the code right. Anyone familar with this?

Since you're not familiar with early fortran carriage control (I've used it for 40 years), I would suggest not learning it.

Instead, send a form-feed to the output. Word will correctly interpret this.

Example:

character*1 FF
FF=CHAR(12)
write(6,'(A)') 'first line on first page'
write(6,'(A)') FF//'first line on second page'
stop
end

compile and execute this, then open output with Word.

This discussion in stackoverflow might be helpful.
The method was made obsolete in f2008

if using gfortran you can use -std=g95 and use the old feature
