Syntax
DATA var-list1 / val-list1 / [[,] var-list2 / val-list2 /]...
var-list is a comma-separated list of entities, including the following:
• A variable name
• An array name
• An array triplet section; for example:
points(1:10:2)
• An array element reference; for example:
scores(0)
• A substring name; for example:
name(1:10)
• An implied-DO loop; for example:
((matrix(i,j),i=0,5),j=5,10)
• An object of a derived type
• A component of a derived-type object
The following cannot appear in var-list :
• Pointer-based variables
• Records and record field references. However, you can initialize a
record’s fields in the record’s structure definition. See “RECORD
(extension)” on page 448.
• Automatic objects, including automatic character strings
• Dummy arguments
• Allocatable arrays: that is, arrays declared with a specified rank, but no
specified bounds within each dimension
• The result variable of a function
• Objects made available by use or host association
