INPUT DIRECTORY

Syntax:

INPUT [ FILE [ NAME ]] DIRECTORY [:] <file>

Function:

Specifies the directory from which a list of files, and the Fortran INCLUDE files referenced by them, are to be read.

THIS COMMAND IS POSITION SENSITIVE. It applies to the files which follow it until a subsequent input directory is specified.

The input directory is inherited by successive levels of INCLUDE files. For example, if aero.f includes bdata.inc and bdata.inc includes rotortab.dat then, by default, rotortab.dat will be sought in the include input file directory specified for aero.f.

The directory name may be enclosed in quotation marks. It may be necessary to use quotation marks when the command is written on the UNIX command line.

The input directory may be specified separately for primary files and for INCLUDE files. The commands are:

PRIMARY INPUT [ FILE [ NAME ]] DIRECTORY [:] <file>

INCLUDE INPUT [ FILE [ NAME ]] DIRECTORY [:] <file>

The command INPUT DIRECTORY is equivalent to PRIMARY INPUT DIRECTORY and INCLUDE INPUT DIRECTORY.
