## 13.6.8 CARRIAGECONTROL Specifier

The CARRIAGECONTROL specifier indicates the type of carriage control used when a file is displayed at a terminal. It takes the following form:

  CARRIAGECONTROL = cc
  cc
  Is a scalar default character expression that evaluates to one of the following values:

  'FORTRAN' | Indicates normal Fortran interpretation of the first character.
  'LIST' | Indicates one line feed between records.
  'NONE' | Indicates no carriage control processing.

The default for binary (WNT, W9*) and unformatted files is 'NONE'. The default for formatted files is 'LIST'. However, if you use the compiler option specifying OpenVMS defaults, and the unit is connected to a terminal, the default is 'FORTRAN'.
