Assumed-Size Arrays

An assumed-size array is an array that is a dummy argument, and which has an asterisk as the upper bound of the last dimension.

You can declare assumed-size arrays in the usual DIMENSION, COMMON, or type statements.

Ihe following f77 extensions allow you to:@

• declare assumed-size arrays in a RECORD statement, if that RECORD statement is not inside a structure declaration block.

• use an assumed-size array as a unit identifier for an internal file in an I/O statement.

• use an assumed-size array as a runtime format specifier in an I/O statement.

Example: Assumed-size with the upper bound of the last dimension an asterisk:

	SUBROUTINE PULLDOWN ( A, B, C ) 
	  INTEGER A(5, *), B(*), C(0:1, 2:*)

An assumed-size array cannot be used in an I/O list.
