Small documentation error

[OP1]

The online documentation for BLOCK states that: 

[...]

block

Is a sequence of zero or more statements or constructs, except for the following:

• CONTAINS (outside of a TYPE definition)
• ENTRY
• IMPORT (outside of a TYPE definition)
• Statement functions

I believe that the statement in bold is incorrect: it is possible (and in fact, rather useful) to use IMPORT statements inside BLOCK constructs.

Yes, that's new in F2018 and this was apparently missed by the Intel team.

[Barbara_P_Intel]

Both ifort and ifx accept IMPORT in a BLOCK construct. I submitted a bug report for the documentation to catch up! DOC-10639

Thanks for reporting this. I'm not sure it this will make the cutoff date for the next release.

[Barbara_P_Intel]

The tech writer snuck the fix in. The statement IMPORT (outside of a TYPE definition) relating to BLOCK is removed from the latest Fortran DGR (Developer Guide and Reference).
