Section 13,15: DATA
Assigns values to variables at compile time. The values within the
backslashes are assigned to the preceding variables left to right;
the number of values must equal the number of variable elements.
Statement format:
DATA nlist/clist/[[,] nlist/clist]...
nlist Is a list combining any combination of variable names,
array names, array element names, character substring
names, and implied-DO lists. (RECORDs are not allowed
in this list.) Elements in the list must be separated
by commas.
Subscript expressions and expressions in substring
references must be integer expressions containing
integer constants and implied-DO variables.
An implied-DO list in a DATA statement takes the
following form:
(dlist, i = n1,n2[,n3])
dlist Is a list of one or more array element
names, character substring names, or
implied-DO lists, separated by commas.
i Is the name of an integer variable.
n1,n2,n3 Are integer constant expressions. The
expression can contain implied-DO variables
of other implied-DO lists that have this
implied-DO list within their ranges.
clist Is a list of constants separated by commas; "clist"
constants take one of the following forms:
c OR n *c
c Is a constant or the symbolic name of a constant.
n Defines the number of times the same value is to
be assigned to successive entities in the associated
"nlist"; "n" is a nonzero, unsigned integer constant
or the symbolic name of an unsigned integer constant.
The DATA statement assigns the constant values in each "clist" to
the entities in the preceding "nlist", from left to right, as they
appear in the "nlist". The number of constants must equal the
number of entities in the "nlist".
When an unsubscripted array name appears in a DATA statement,
values are assigned to every element of that array in the order of
subscript progression. The associated constant list must contain
enough values to fill the array.
For more information on the relationship between "nlist" and
"clist", see your DEC Fortran user manual.
