	GF ~~reads~~ and ~~writes strings~~ and ~~numbers~~. It left justifies strings and right justifies numbers. Strings may be any value not exceeding the specified length. Numbers may include a decimal point at any position and may have an exponent.		The '''GF (generic floating-point) format specification''' has been added for use by the FORM statement and by the INPUT / PRINT FIELDS. It is the same as [[G]] in that it can be used with either string or numeric data and in all other ways it is identical to [[L]] as used with INPUT and PRINT FIELDS. Note the following code fragment:

			00100 PRINT USING " 2*GF 10":333,444.44

			;Outputs:

			333 444.44

GF reads and writes strings and numbers. It left justifies strings and right justifies numbers. Strings may be any value not exceeding the specified length. Numbers may include a decimal point at any position and may have an exponent.

The following program demonstrates this:
00010 open #1: "name=xxx,recl=80,replace",internal,outin,relative
00020 write #1,using 'form gf 10,c': 1234.56,"X"
00030 write #1,using 'form gf 10,c': "1234.56","X"
00040 write #1,using 'form gf 14,c': 123456e-20,"X"

This program produces a file with two records containingthe following, where "bbb" represents three blank spaces:
bbb1234.56X
1234.56bbbX
bbb1.23456E-15X (the normalized form of the value)
