OK, I got it but I'm not sure it makes sense.

for the simple example above the format code:
IDL> readf, lun, dat, format='(2(A,x), 4(I,x))'
% End of input record encountered on file unit: 101.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
does not work, while the code:
IDL> readf, lun, dat, format='(2(A2,x), 4(I,x))'
does work
IDL> help, dat, /str
** Structure <1eaa8c4>, 6 tags, length=32, data length=32, refs=1:
A STRING 'a,'
B STRING 'b,'
C INT 0
D INT 1
E INT 2
F INT 3

So if you don't specify the length of the first string it takes
everything?!?!
