PARAMETER_Statements

 PARAMETER statements:  PARAMETER statements can appear in a
 structure declaration, but cannot be given a data type within the
 declaration block.  Consider the following:

    STRUCTURE /ABC/
        INTEGER*4 P
        PARAMETER (P=4)
        REAL*4 F
    END STRUCTURE
        REAL*4 A(P)

 In this example, the INTEGER*4 statement does not provide the data
 type for PARAMETER constant P, but instead declares a record field
 P in structure ABC.  The subsequent PARAMETER statement declares a
 new, different symbol which is given the implicit data type for
 identifiers beginning with the letter P.

 Type declarations for PARAMETER symbolic names must precede the
 PARAMETER statement and be outside of a STRUCTURE declaration, as
 follows:

        INTEGER*4 P
    STRUCTURE /ABC/
        PARAMETER (P=4)
        REAL*4 F
    END STRUCTURE
        REAL*4 A(P)
