Problem with read statement

[tesaoghost]

Hi every body
I am new to this forum and I have a question about fortran read statement. I want to send cursor to a specified position in output screen and enter data at that position. Take a look at these lines:

program GaussElimination
implicit none

print *,"PLEASE ENTER DIMENSION OF (A) MATRIX :"
Read *,n


I want to enter n at the same line after print statement. But cursor jumps to the next line after print statement automatically.
How should I enter the n at the same line?
Thanks a lot

Use the option [highlight]advance='no'[/highlight] in the write statement.

Thanks a lot
It really works!
But can I use this formatting with print statement or it works with write statement only?

IMO it works only with WRITE, because PRINT doesn't seem to contain this option:

>>-PRINT--+-name----------------------------+------------------><
          '-format--+---------------------+-'
                    '-,--output_item_list-'

>>-WRITE--(--io_control_list--)--+------------------+----------><
                                 '-output_item_list-'

...
io_control
...
ADVANCE= char_expr
...

see the syntax rules on IBM pages:
PRINT
WRITE
