Abstract
An explicit format specification (often abbreviated to “format”) is used in conjunction with certain formatted input/output statements to control the input of external data and the output of internal data. During this data transfer, the data are converted from the internal representation (in the storage) to the external character representation (in the record) or vice versa.
