8.9.1 NAMELIST Statement

The NAMELIST statement, and related I/O constructs, are supported by the GNU Fortran language in essentially the same way as they are by f2c.

This follows Fortran 90 with the restriction that on NAMELIST input, subscripts must have the form

subscript [ : subscript [ : stride]]

i.e.

&xx x(1:3,8:10:2)=1,2,3,4,5,6/

is allowed, but not, say,

&xx x(:3,8::2)=1,2,3,4,5,6/

As an extension of the Fortran 90 form, $ and $END may be used in place of & and / in NAMELIST input, so that

$&xx x(1:3,8:10:2)=1,2,3,4,5,6 $end

could be used instead of the example above.
