Add to OBJECTIVES: - Keep features that are needed to support HPF === Insert Point 4.5. Keep statement labels, GO TO and FORMAT statement, . Permit statement label reference only as follows: - Reference to labelled executable statement in GO TO, END=, ERR= (Remove ASSIGN and other features that treat statement labels as integers) - Reference to labelled FORMAT statement in data transfer i/o (but this one could be deleted if people think it is easy enough to do a syntax check on character constant formats at compile time.) Keep CONTINUE (?) And list two more explicit deletions: Remove traditional relational operator forms such as .GT. Remove spacing control for line printers. - Loren Meissner ---------- From: Loren Meissner Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 1996 16:27 PM To: sc22wg5@dkuug.dk Subject: (SC22WG5.1212) Proposed Industrial Strength Standard Fortran Subset . . .
