J3/06-172 Date: 24 April 2003 To: J3 From: Van Snyder Subject: Feature creep -- regularization of DATA Introduction C557 [88:5-7] requires the in a [R528 87:29-30] to have primaries that are constants or subjects of constants, or DO variables of containing s, and each operation shall be intrinsic. C561 poses a similar constraint for subscripts. Interestingly, C553, which is for s that are not within s, the parallel requirement is posed in terms of initialization expressions. It would be simpler in standardese, and perhaps for processors as well, if we reduced the number of expression patterns by requiring that those expressions have to be initialization expressions. Other constraints (C553, C564, C567) are already posed in terms of initialization expressions. Edits Edits refer to 04-007.
