Thanks all for your converging point of view about my problem.
Portability is also an important point for this code so there is only one
solution: using user defined data type.
In my mind, this was more for C or C++ code without the fortran subarray
behavior but I was in error.
The problem is a little bit more complicated as the real code is a 3D
application but I think it's not so complicated to implement this strategy.
Now I'm convinced that user defined data type is also an important MPI feature
in Fortran.
