REMOVE NUMERIC SIZES
Syntax:
[DO NOT] REMOVE NUMERIC SIZES
Function:
Systematically removes the *n size specifications from all numeric declarations. Note that declarations of the form INTEGER*4 are non-standard and are not accepted by all Fortran compilers.
Note that the removal of the size specifications may change the data sizes of the objects. This may have side-effects in precision of calculations and the organisation of COMMON blocks. It is recommended that COMMON blocks are examined with the CHECK EQUIVALENCE and COMMON BLOCK LISTING commands before this change is made.
The command SPECIFY NUMERIC SIZES systematically adds the *n size specifications.
The commands CHANGE SIZES TO KINDS replaces the non-standard size specifications by KIND specifications.
