want the data from the file to be read. It consists of string or numeric
variables separated by commas.
The following are examples of INPUT statements.
INPUT #1 :X$
INPUT #23:X.A.LL$
INPUT #1 1 . REC 44:TAX
INPUT #3:A.B.C.

44 of the file that was opened as
#1 1 .
Puts into A. B. and C the next three values from
the file that was opened as

The comma after
C creates a pending input condition. When the
next INPUT statement using this file is
performed. one of the following actions occurs.
If the next INPUT statement has no REC clause.
