J3/06-173r1 Date: 25 April 2006 To: J3 From: Van Snyder Subject: Interpretation request concerning DATA NUMBER: TBD TITLE: Interpretation request concerning DATA KEYWORDS: DATA, substring DEFECT TYPE: Erratum STATUS: QUESTION: Does the following program unit conform to the 2003 Fortran standard? subroutine S ( N ) character(3) :: Z(2) data ( c(i)(n:n), i = 1, 2 ) / 'A', 'B' / end subroutine s ANSWER No. It was an oversight that substring starting and ending points were not included in C561, as they are in C554. EDITS Within C561 [88:13] replace "subscript" by "subscript, substring starting point, or substring ending point". HISTORY
