To: J3 J3/18-263 From: Van Snyder Subject: Construct association in an ASSOCIATE construct Date: 2018-October-12 Introduction ============ Note 1 in subclause 19.5.1.6 ([503:0+] in 18-007) says that the association between an associate name and a data object is not affected by subsequent changes to variables used in subscript or substring ranges. I couldn't find normative support for this. Edits ===== [174:30 11.1.3.2p1 Execution of the ASSOCIATE construct] Before "The associating entity..." insert a sentence: "The association is not affected by changes within the block to the values of variables used in subscript or substring range expressions within the selector."
