is that part of the array declarator defining the dimensions of the array.
is called the length specification and is an unsigned positive integer constant or an integer
constant expression enclosed in parentheses whose value is 1, 2 or 4.
This form of the INTEGER statement is a Open Watcom FORTRAN 77 extension to the FORTRAN 77
language. The length specification specifies the number of bytes of storage that will be allocated for the
name appearing in the INTEGER statement. The default length specification is 4. A length specification of
1 or 2 does not change the data type; it merely restricts the magnitude of the integer that can be represented.
See the chapter entitled "Names, Data Types and Constants" on page 151 for more information.
The length specification immediately following the word INTEGER is the length specification for each
entity in the statement not having its own length specification. If a length specification is not specified the
default length specification is used. An entity with its own specification overrides the default length
specification or the length specification immediately following the word INTEGER. Note that for an array
the length specification applies to each element of the array.
Example:
DIMENSION C(-5:5)
INTEGER A, B*2(10), C*2
INTEGER*1 X
In the previous example, X is declared to be a variable of type integer and occupying 1 byte of storage, A is
declared to be a variable of type integer and occupying 4 bytes of storage and B and C are declared to be
arrays of type integer with each element of the array occupying 2 bytes.
