Intel® Fortran Compiler 18.0 Developer Guide and Reference
A complex value is an ordered pair of real values. Complex editing is specified by a pair of real edit descriptors, using any combination of the forms: Fw.d, Ew.d[Ee], Dw.d, ENw.d[Ee], ESw.d[Ee], or Gw.d[Ee].
On input, the two successive fields are read and assigned to the corresponding complex I/O list item as its real and imaginary part, respectively.
The following shows input using complex editing:
Format Input Value F8.5,F8.5 1234567812345.67 123.45678, 12345.67 E9.1,F9.3 734.432E8123456789 734.432E8, 123456.789
On output, the two parts of the complex value are transferred under the control of repeated or successive real edit descriptors. The two parts are transferred consecutively without punctuation or blanks, unless control or character string edit descriptors are specified between the pair of real edit descriptors.
The following shows output using complex editing (the symbol ^ represents a nonprinting blank character):
