Re: Format statement problem

Try D16.8. (I dislike G format, but that's a personal opinion)

The 8 is the number of digits after the decimal point, and the 16 is
the total length output. You need 8 extra spaces:

If you have found a compiler that gives output like this from a D16.8
format, then you should submit a bug report to the vendor for violating
the Fortran standard.

Yes, the field width of 16 would allow enough room for this, but you
need to do more than just check whether there is enough room. The
standard specifies what goes into that field.  In particular, you
will *NOT* get both the exponent letter and a 3-digit exponent (which
was exactly the question being asked); if you get that, the compiler is
broken.

See other replies for how to write a format specifier that will achieve
this effect (namely e16.8e3 or variants thereof, the e3 on the end being
the critical part).
