gfortran accepts the following syntax for the assignment of character objects:

CHARACTER(14) :: prop(4) = (/'name', 'data_file_name', 'Ho_units',
'mpolar_units'/)

Although this is convenient, is not according to the Fortran standard that
requires that all of the elements of a constructor be the same kind, type and
for characters, length.
According to this the correct syntax is:

CHARACTER(14) :: prop(4) = (/'name          ', 'data_file_name', &
  'Ho_units      ', 'mpolar_units  '/)
