Yes, 'dim' can be an integer of any kind. In section 16, if there is a specific kind requirement, then it would have stated that 'dim' had a default integer kind. See for example, 16.9.169 RANDOM_SEED([SIZE, PUT, GET]) where one has SIZE (optional) shall be a default integer scalar. > > I didn't see any obvious way of finding that in the library.

We could remove of the -fdefault-* options. Problem solved. -- Steve
