Using and Porting GNU Fortran

15.3.17 Q Edit Descriptor

The Q edit descriptor in FORMATs isn't supported. (This is meant to get the number of characters remaining in an input record.) Supporting this requires a significant redesign or replacement of libg2c.

A workaround might be using internal I/O or the stream-based intrinsics. See section 8.11.9.104 FGetC Intrinsic (subroutine).
