In g77 you define a typeless BOZ constant that can be assigned to any other
type, using the formats '....'X, '....'Z etc. This allows PARAMETERs to be
defined like:
PROGRAM TLBOZ
DOUBLE PRECISION inf, nan
PARAMETER ( inf = '7FF0000000000000'Z )
PARAMETER ( nan = 'FFF8000000000000'X )
print *, inf, nan
END
The relevant g77 description is at:

This is related to bug 18026.
