Subject: *vwrite command, integer format character that works on a HP and SUN machine
Author: Joe Rasche

Question: On the *vwrite command, what format character should be used to
write
out an integer. ANSYS 5.4 version running on HP and SUN.

Background:
The documentation clearly states that the "*" and "I" characters do not work
for
the *vwrite command. This is not totally true. The "I" format statement
character does work on HP machines. On Sun machines, it does not.

I'm hoping that there is a secret command of some sort that I can put into the
*vwrite format statement line that will allow Integers to be printed out. I do
not want to put in F10.0 or something like that. There should be an integer
format statement that will work on all machines.

Does anyone know of a format statement that will allow me to directly output an
integer on the SUN machines.

If this has been covered before I apologize for taking your time.

An example of the "I" format character. This works for HP but not SUN. Test
it
out and see.
