That's the key point, which makes it invalid. To quote from Malcolm Cohen's answer: "In your example, the "data-ref" is "polymorphic%abstract". You said that "abstract" was of abstract type. And "polymorphic%abstract" certainly is not polymorphic - you have selected the bit that is of type "abstract"." Hence, the PR is invalid as gfortran and NAG properly diagnose it :-)
