What to Do if the Data is Formatted Incorrectly
If asterisks appear in place of the data, then the values were formatted incorrectly. Possibly, the values to be transferred were larger than the format allows for, or the data type is not compatible with the format specification. If this happens, change the format to better accommodate the values.
note | The asterisks only appear if a FORTRAN format string is used. If the format was specified incorrectly using a C string, then incorrect data may be transferred. |
