Yes, this is correct. Sections 5.1.2.10 and 5.1.2.11 are about attributes that may appear in type declarations. Type declarations cannot be used for subroutines because subroutins do not have a type. For subroutines, you must use the EXTERNAL or INTRINSIC statements described in 12.3.2.2 and 12.3.2.3. Those apply to both subroutines and functions. Yes, it is a bit anomalous that those statements don't appear in section 5 with the other statements used to declate attributes. But then if they appeared in section 5, it would be anomalous that they weren't in section 12 with the other material about procedures. -- Richard Maine maine@altair.dfrc.nasa.gov
