9. These character strings may now be printed under different formats:
write NAMES(3), NAMES(1), NAMES(2) as T *, T 10, T 2
will produce the output:
column 0 1 2 3
number 123456789012345678901234567890

10. Assuming MACHINE and TCODE have been defined as text variables and TEMP and
TOLERANCE as integer variables:
read MACHINE, TEMP, TCODE, TOLERANCE as T 10, I 5, T 1, I 9
will read:
column 0 1 2 3
number 123456789012345678901234567890
FORGE 3K 05
and assign "FORGE" to MACHINE, 3 to TEMP, "K" to TCODE, and 5 to TOLERANCE.
11. Let ALPHA.VAR1, ALPHA.VAR2 and ALPHA.VAR3 be alpha variables. The statement:
read ALPHA.VAR1, ALPHA.VAR2, ALPHA.VAR3 as 3 A 1
after reading the following input data, will assign the values a, b, c to the three variables,
respectively:
column 0 1
number 1234567890123456
abc
The output statement:
write ALPHA.VAR1, ALPHA.VAR2, ALPHA.VAR3 as B 1, 3 A 4
will now produce:
column 0 1 2
number 12345678901234567890
a b c
