To: J3 Members J3/16-270 From: Van Snyder Subject: IMPORT statement description is misplaced References: 16-007r2 Date: 2016 September 30 1. Introduction --------------- The IMPORT statement is described in 15.4.3.4, in connection with interface bodies. It was introduced to remedy a defect concerning interface bodies to which I objected during the development of Fortran 90 -- the default should have been host association. Now that the IMPORT statement is allowed in a BLOCK construct, and observing that it primarily affects host association, and three out of four of its illustrative NOTES do not deal with interface bodies, it ought to be in subclause 19.5.1, either within or immediately after 19.5.1.4. If anybody feels like tackling it, a NOTE illustrating its use in a BLOCK construct wouldn't be harmful. 2. Edits -------- [304:8 - 306:1- 15.4.3.4] Move the entire subclause other than NOTE 15.8 on page 306 to [518:1-], either putting it within subclause 19.5.1.4 (without a subclause heading, or with a subsubclause heading after creating a subsubclause for the content of 19.5.1.4), or immediately after subclause 19.5.1.4, at the same refinement level, becoming subclause 19.5.1.5. Move NOTE 15.8 to [304:1- NOTE 15.4+].
