Record Attributes specify record format and carriage control attributes.

The record formats are: Fixed, Variable and Stream.

The types of carriage-control attributes are: VFC (Variable with Fixed Control), Fortran carriage control, Carriage-Return carriage control, and no carriage control.

This is primarily connected with TYPE-ing and PRINT-ing files. Carriage-control attributes do not cause extraneous data to be written to your files or input to your program.
