Obsolescent feature missed by CVF & IVF

[lklawrie1]

The following is noted as an obsolescent statement (i.e. Standard 95 checking) by all the compilers (CVF 6.6B, 6.6C, and IVF 8):

CHARACTER*30 String

but this is missed by all the compilers:

CHARACTER String*30

(I assume the previous declaration is not a legal Standard 95 declaration or is it?)

The latter is legal and not obsolescent, so the compilers are behaving correctly here.

Well, that would explain why it didn't complain.

Will the actual release of 6.6C come soon -- will it be any different than your last link?

The link I posted as 6.6C3 is final. My understanding is that the HP web pages are being updated to reference it.
