HP Fortran statements
REWIND
REWIND
Positions file at its initial point.
Syntax
The syntax of the REWIND statement can take one of the following forms:
420
Short form:
integer-expression
Long form:
REWIND (io-specifier-list)
integer-expression
io-specifier-list
[UNIT=]unit
ERR=stmt-label
IOSTAT=integer-variable
Description
is the unit connected to a sequential file or device.
is a list of the following comma-separated I/O specifiers:
specifies the unit connected to an external file opened for sequential access.
unit must be an integer expression that evaluates to a number greater than
0. If the optional keyword UNIT= is omitted, unit must be the first item in
io-specifier-list.
specifies the label of the executable statement to which control passes if an
error occurs during statement execution.
returns the I/O status after the statement executes. If the statement
executes successfully, integer-variable is set to zero. If an error occurs, it
is set to a positive integer that indicates which error occurred.
The REWIND statement repositions the file connected to the specified unit at the start of the
first record. If the file is already at its starting point or if the unit is not connected to a file, the
REWIND statement has no effect.
