READV

 The READV procedure reads  characters  from  a  character-string
 expression  and  assigns  them  to parameters in the READV call.
 The behavior of READV  is  analogous  to  that  of  READLN;  the
 character string is analogous to a one-line file.


 Syntax:

    READV( str, {variable-id[[ : radix-specifier ]]},...
    [[, ERROR := error-recovery ]])


 The  parameter  'str'  is  the   string   to   be   read.    The
 variable-identifier  is the variable to be assigned a value from
 'str'.  The parameter 'radix-specifier' can be BIN, OCT, or HEX.
 You  can  read a variable of any type by using a radix specifier
 except  a  type   that   contains   a   file   component.    The
 'error-recovery'  indicates the action to be taken in case of an
 error.

 An error occurs at run time if values have not been assigned  to
 all the parameters listed in the READV procedure call before the
 end of the character string is reached.
