the number, including its sign and decimal point, and the last four positions used for the scale factor
E±xx.
E-formatted input data can be written in a variety of ways, as the scale factor may or may not contain
a sign or the letter E. The numbers 1.00E+05, 1.0E05, +1.0E 5, and 1.0E+5 are equivalent
input data representations of the number 100,000 under the input format E(7,1). As shown below,
either a sign or the letter E must be present to separate the number and scale factor fields.
It must be emphasized again that when values are too large to be printed in their indicated formats,
data should be displayed in scientific notation, as governed by the following rules:
Field
Width Characters Printed Example: Number=247.538
1 {"E"} E
2 {sign of number} {"E"} +E
3 {sign of number} {"E"} {sign of exponent} +E+
4 {sign of number} {"E"} {sign of exponent} {d} +E+2
d = digit if 0 ≤ exponent ≤ 9, or = * if exponent > = 10
5 {sign of number} {"E"} {sign of exponent} +E+02
{exponent}
6 {sign of number} {digit} {"E"} +2E+02
{sign of exponent} {exponent}
7 {sign of number} {digit} {"."} {"E"} +2.E+02
{sign of exponent} {exponent}
8 {sign of number} {digit} {"."} {digit} +2.4E+02
{"E"} {sign of exponent} {exponent}
9 {sign of number} {digit} {"."} +2.47E+02
or {additional digits} {"E"}
+2.475E+02
more {sign of exponent} {exponent} +2.47538E+02
Numbers can be written in scientific notation for free form as well as for format-directed input. A
field of the form: {number} {exponent} is interpreted as a scientific notation input field in free-form
input statements. No blanks are allowed between the number and exponent parts of the field. The
forms of these parts are:
{number}:
{exponent}:
a real or integer constant
E±xx E is optional
+ is not needed if exponent is positive
