    Unresolved issue 124:

        Replace [206:16 - 207:37] with:

        "An input/output statement shall not cause the value of any
	 established format specification to be modified.

         A recursive input/output statement shall not modify the value
	 of any internal unit except that a recursive WRITE statement
	 may modify the internal unit identified by that recursive
	 WRITE statement.

         The value of a specifier in an input/output
	 statement shall not depend on any <<input-item>>,
	 <<io-implied-do>> variable, or on the definition or
	 evaluation of any other specifier in the
	 <<io-control-spec-list>> or <<inquire-spec-list>> in that
	 statement.

	 J3 internal note
 	 The IOLENGTH= and SIZE= specifiers do, in some sense, depend
	 on the input list items.  We may need to reword the above paragrahs
	 to allow this dependence.

         The value of any subscript or substring bound of a variable
	 that appears in a specifier in an input/output
	 statement shall not depend on any <<input-item>>,
	 <<io-implied-do>> variable, or on the definition or
	 evaluation of any other specifier in the
	 <<io-control-spec-list>> or <<inquire-spec-list>> in that
	 statement."
