time
Directs a read statement to assume that the next request in the file contains only one component; that is, it’s time-like).
Syntax
read time
or
readln time
Comments
The time keyword functions similarly to the request keyword, except that when time is read, it is always assumed to contain only one component, no matter how many components are present in the other requests
Example
record
{
read time // get value for time step
do numrequests
{
read request // read requests other than time
}
}
