To: J3 07-320r2 From: Dick Hendrickson Subject: I/O in BLOCK DATA Date: 2007 November 13 References: J3/07-007r3 Discussion The current text of paragraph 2 in 9.5.6.1 OPEN/General grants permission to have OPEN and other I/O statements in a BLOCK DATA program unit. Probably not intended. Edits to 07-007r3: At the beginning of paragraph 2 in 9.5.6.1 OPEN/General, [217:12-13] replace "any program unit" with "the main program or any subprogram" twice.
