   2         DOUBLE PRECISION LAB,VAL
   3         WRITE(6,900)LAB,VAL
   4   900   FORMAT(1X,A8,2X,E12.2)
   5 >>      END
 
FPT> column format declarations
FPT> lower case symbols
FPT> tab
FPT> t 1:5
   1            SUBROUTINE labval(lab,val)
   2            DOUBLE PRECISION
   2            1 , lab
   2            1 , val
   3            WRITE (6,900)lab,val
   4    900     FORMAT (1X,A8,2X,E12.2)
