Write binary file in Matlab

Hello,
I have a binary data generated by Fortran, I am able to read my data:
fid = fopen('inflow.data0000');
sep1=fread(fid,1,'float');
nynzitime=fread(fid,3,'int32');
sep=fread(fid,1,'int32');
RAW_read = fread(fid, 3*n1*n2,'float32');
RAW = reshape(RAW_read, [n1,n2,3]);
fclose(fid);
I need to make some changes in the data and then write it out as a binary file for Fortran.
so I did this:
fileID = fopen('newinflow.data0000')
fwrite(fileID,sep1,'single');
fwrite(fileID,nynzitime,'int32');
fwrite(fileID,sep,'int32');
fwrite(fileID,RAW_read,'float32');
fclose(fileID);
then when Fortran reads the data:
namel='newinflow.data0000'
open(30,file=namel,form='unformatted')
read(30)n2al,n3l
read(30)qal(0:n2al+1,1:n3l,1:3)
close(30)
error message shows "corrupted file". I realized that it is a header/format related issue, but I am not familar with binary file, tried a few different things, no luck yet.
I attached a 'good' binary data, please see if you know how to read and write it properly for Fortran.
Thank you for your time.

Can you read and write as “STREAM” in your FORTRAN compiler? No header stuff to worry about.

Maybe try changing the ENDIAN?

I tried, no luck. I think the problem is the first 4 bytes, I am not sure how to read it properly, for matlab, it doesn't matter what it is, so I couldn't write it back correctly.
Why are you not specifying 'w' or 'r' in your fopen()? Does it somehow figure it out afterwards?
Oh, I did, but forgot that part when I paste the code here...also I worked around this problem by changing the Fortran write and read code to STREAM.
A paste operation shouldn't drop out characters that were copied into the clipboard. You might want to investigate that.
