Hmmm, this sounds like a question you've asked earlier - I sent a reply
on the 6th of April which you didn't react to, so I assumed the issue
solved.

"unformatted io not allowed" is - as far as I know - the error if you
try to perform unformatted I/O on a unit that's explicitly (i.e. via an
OPEN statement) or implicitly opened for formatted I/O (i.e. because the
first I/O statement involving the unit is a formatted READ or WRITE).

Hope this helps,
