The fields separated by commas specify the consecutive parts of a single record; each / is a record boundary.  Also, the end of the FORMAT corresponds to the end of record.  In the DEC implementation, for terminals, trailing $ meant "do not end the record", i.e., don't insert newline at this point.  That was used for prompt strings in interactive applications written in FORTRAN.
