F2018 has F2018:C7110 (R770) If type-spec is omitted, each ac-value expression in the array-constructor shall have the same declared type and kind type parameters. F2018:C7111 (R770) If type-spec specifies an intrinsic type, each ac-value expression in the array-constructor shall be of an intrinsic type that is in type conformance with a variable of type type-spec as specified in Table 10.8. As a BOZ is typeless, it therefore cannot be in an array constructor. Even if you had added a type-spec such as '[integer :: ...]'. F2023 does allow a BOZ in an array constructor, with the following constraints: F2023:C7126 If an ac-value is a boz-literal-constant, type-spec shall appear and shall specify type integer or real. F2023:C7127 If an ac-value is a boz-literal-constant and type-spec specifies type real, the boz-literal-constant shall be a valid internal representation for the specified kind of real. Your code lacks a type-spec, so C7126 kicks in. Even with a type-spec, as this is a new F2023 feature, gfortran does not currently support a BOZ in an array-constructor. Adding this capability would be a good introduction to contributing to gfortran development.
