[TRNSYS-users] Question on WRITE statement in Fortran

[Jeff Thornton]

<I would like to write the values of internal parameters and variables in
Fortran to the screen or to a file.
I tried the following:

WRITE(*,*) = 'Parameter P = ', P     (print to screen)
or
WRITE(7,*) = 'Parameter P = ', P     (print to file)>

Logical unit 6 is the list file, so Write(6,*) 'Hello'  would write Hello
into the list file when that unit was called.  Logical Unit 7 is the file
which contains the units information (Units.lab) so you may want to check
to make sure you haven't destroyed that file with your messages.  Any unit
under 10 - with the exception of the list file at 6, should never be
written to.  Writing to the screen shouldn't be done either.
