I don't worry about "len=3", I'm worrying about the type: data emname/'bar'/ is implicitly types REAL and then one line later comes: character(len=3) :: emname I still think that this violates: "A variable that appears in a DATA statement and has not been typed previously may appear in a subsequent type declaration only if that declaration confirms the implicit typing." -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34228
