Actual argument is incompatible with dummy argument

From: jchauvin@xxxxxxxxx

I get the f77 warning message on the legacy code segment shown below.
Can someone explain what the declaraction B(*)*(*) means and why I am
getting a warning message?

SUBROUTINE SUP(B)
CHARACTER B(*)*(*)
..
..
RETURN
END

The above subroutine is called from another subroutine with:

CHARACTER A(1)*1
CALL SUP(A)
^ actual argument is incompatible with dummy
argument

Thanks,

John C.
