Link-in Input files

Part of the input file can be put into a separate ASCII file, which can be addressed from the (standard) input stream:

INLINE inlinefile

inlinefile must be the name of the auxiliary ASCII file (including its path, absolute or relative to the run-directory). When inline is encountered in the input file, adf opens the specified file and continues reading from that file as if it were in-line expanded into the input file. When the end-of-file is encountered reading resumes from the original file.

The contents of the inlinefile must not end with end input, unless you wish to terminate all input reading at that point.

InLine may occur any number of times in the input file. Use of inline may also be nested (up to 10 levels): the key INLINE may be used in the inlinefile in the same fashion as in the standard input file.

The inline feature makes it easy to pack your preferred settings that are not matched by the program's defaults in one file and use them in every run with a minimum of input-typing effort. Obvious applications are output control (print) settings and precision parameters.

Note: you can not use inline to store parallel settings, not even by using inline on the first line of your input and placing the parallel keyword on the first line of the inlinefile: before opening the inlinefile and expanding it into the inputfile, the program has already detected that the first line of input does not specify the parallel settings.
