Hi Thomas, based on your comments I'll withdraw the patch, but read on...

I got rejections of several variations of the test cases by Crayftn and Intel, which seemed to support my interpretation. > Also, looking at how the paragraph about MOLD continues: > > # MOLD shall be a scalar or array of any type.

No. A constant expression for MOLD is quite useful; I use it every day. In fact, I consider TRANSFER to be the "Swiss army knife of Fortran 95", and we have tons on TRANSFER in our code, with MOLD being 1, [1], ["*"], you name it... > However, I am ready to be convinced otherwise :-) Well, your response shows that the review process exists! I have a slightly different approach in mind that I need to check. Thanks for the review anyway, Harald (not the "real" McGyver) > Regards > > Thomas >
