ACCEPT

 Transfers input data to internal storage from external records
 accessed under the sequential mode of access.  It takes one of the
 following forms:

     Formatted           ACCEPT f[,iolist]
     List-directed       ACCEPT *[,iolist]
     Namelist            ACCEPT n

     f       Is a format specifier not prefaced by FMT=.

     iolist  Is a simple I/O list element or an implied-DO list.

     *       Specifies list-directed formatting (can be specified
             as FMT=*).

     n       The nonkeyword form of a namelist specifier.

 The control-list parameters are "f," "*" (or FMT=*), and "n".  The
 I/O list parameter is "iolist".

 The formatted ACCEPT statement transfers data from your terminal to
 internal storage.  The access mode is sequential.

 The list-directed ACCEPT statement translates the data from
 character to binary format according to the data types of the
 variables in the I/O list.

 The namelist ACCEPT statement translates the data from character to
 binary format according to the data types of the list entities in
 the corresponding NAMELIST statement.
