formatted internal data transfer
Formatted internal data transfer changes the representation of data without actually transmitting it to or from an external device. Formatted external data transfer includes two separate processes:
a) The change in representation of data between its internal form and its external form.
b) The transmission of data to or from the external device.
In an internal data transfer statement, the integer expression or asterisk Unit specifier in the control list is replaced by the name of a character variable that serves as a buffer or “internal file”.
