The syntax of a type declaration within a record structure is
identical to that of a normal Fortran type statement.
The following rules and behavior apply to type declarations in
- %FILL can be specified in place of a field name to leave
space in a record for purposes such as alignment. This creates an
%FILL can have an array specification; for example:
INTEGER %FILL (2,2)
Unnamed fields cannot be initialized. For example, the following
statement is invalid and generates an error message:
INTEGER %FILL /1980/
- Initial values can be supplied in field declaration
statements. Unnamed fields cannot be initialized; they are always
- Field names must always be given explicit data types. The
IMPLICIT statement does not affect field declarations.
- Any required array dimensions must be specified in the
field declaration statements. DIMENSION statements cannot be used
to define field names.
- Adjustable or assumed sized arrays and assumed-length
CHARACTER declarations are not allowed in field declarations.
