  CONVERT = fm

  fm  Is a character scalar memory reference that is assigned
      one of the following values:

      'LITTLE_ENDIAN':  If the file is open with little
                        endian integer and IEEE floating-point
                        data conversion in effect.

      'BIG_ENDIAN':     If the file is open with big endian
                        integer and IEEE floating-point data
                        conversion in effect.

      'CRAY':           If the file is open with big endian
                        integer and CRAY floating-point data
                        conversion in effect.

      'IBM':            If the file is open with big endian
                        integer and IBM System\370 floating-
                        point data conversion in effect.

      'VAXD':           If the file is open with little
                        endian integer and Compaq VAX
                        F_floating and D_floating data
                        conversion in effect.

      'VAXG':           If the file is open with little
                        endian integer and Compaq VAX
                        F_floating and G_floating data
                        conversion in effect.

      'NATIVE':         If the file is open with no data
                        conversion in effect.

      'UNKNOWN':        If the file or unit is not connected
                        for unformatted I/O.
