Subject: Edit: Relocate constraint C1703
From: Dan Bonachea
Date: 2026-July-24
References: 25-202r3, 26-007r2

1. Background
-------------

In Fortran 2023, subclause 16.6 'Collective subroutines', paragraph 2 ends with
the following:

  A collective subroutine shall not be referenced when an image control
  statement is not permitted to be executed (for example, in a procedure invoked
  from a CRITICAL construct).

  C1602 A reference to a collective subroutine shall not appear in a context
        where an image control statement is not permitted to appear.

This prose specifying dynamic restrictions logically belongs together with the
constraint that enforces analogous static restrictions.

2. Recent changes
-----------------

Edit paper 25-202r3 inserted two new paragraphs, a new constraint and a new NOTE
within the relevant body of this subclause. When these edits were applied, the
new elements were inadvertently inserted *between* the two elements described in
the Background.  Consequently, the two semantically coupled elements (which are
now labelled paragraph 3 and C1703) are now separated by roughly a half page of
relatively orthogonal specification. This was unintentional and degrades the
linear readability of the subclause.

2. Edits (relative to 26-007r2)
--------

[420:22-23] 17.6 Collective subroutines

Move constraint C1703 unchanged from its current position between para 5 and 6
to its intended position immediately following para 3 (before NOTE 1).

Renumber constraints accordingly.
