>From an old SGI Fortran-77 Language Reference Manual:
"The RECORD statement creates a record in the format specified by a previously
declared STRUCTURE statement. The effect of a RECORD statement is comparable
to that of an ordinary type declaration."
"The STRUCTURE statement defines a record structure that can be referenced by
one or more RECORD statement."
An example from the same manual:
STRUCTURE /WEATHER/
INTEGER MONTH, DAY, YEAR
CHARACTER*80 CLOUDS
REAL RAINFALL
END STRUCTURE
RECORD /WEATHER/ LATEST, PAST(1000)
past(n).rainfall = latest.rainfall
Documentation of other Fortan Compilers that
support STRUCTURE/RECORD. This could be implemented
as an 'GNU extension' with respect to -std=.
