VMS Help FORTRAN, Statements, STRUCTURE, PARAMETER Statements  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

  PARAMETER statements:  PARAMETER statements can appear in a
  structure declaration, but cannot be given a data type within the
  declaration block.  Consider the following:

     STRUCTURE /ABC/
         INTEGER*4 P
         PARAMETER (P=4)
         REAL*4 F
     END STRUCTURE
         REAL*4 A(P)

  In this example, the INTEGER*4 statement does not provide the data
  type for PARAMETER constant P, but instead declares a record field
  P in structure ABC.  The following PARAMETER statement declares a
  new, different symbol that is given the implicit data type for
  identifiers beginning with the letter P.

  Type declarations for PARAMETER symbolic names must precede the
  PARAMETER statement and be outside of a STRUCTURE declaration, as
  follows:

         INTEGER*4 P
     STRUCTURE /ABC/
         PARAMETER (P=4)
         REAL*4 F
     END STRUCTURE
         REAL*4 A(P)

  PARAMETER in this Help file.
