PARAMETER Statement

Description

The PARAMETER statement specifies and initializes named constants.

Syntax
 

     PARAMETER (named-constant-defs)
 Where:
 

     

         named-constant-defs is a comma separated list of constant-name=init-expr
     

         constant-name is the name of a constant being specified.
     

         init-expr is an expression that can be evaluated at compile time.
 
 

Remarks

Each named constant becomes defined with the value of init-expr.

Any data objects defined in a PARAMETER statement cannot be subsequently redefined.

Example
       real, parameter :: pi=3.141592654 ! parameter attribute
       integer :: i0
       parameter (i0=0)                  ! parameter statement
