The cards statement specifies that the values of the variables appearing in the input statement are to be read from the program editor window. The data cards are assumed to immediately follow the cards statement. Data cards should NOT be terminated with a semicolon.
The infile statement can accomplish the same thing as
the cards statement by using the form infile cards;.
This allows the use of the other options available with the infile
statement.
