Re: Fortran Error Problem

a DIMENSION declaration is missing for X. The compiler assumes that X
is an external function and complains at link stage that it is missing.

I have seen this happen in a subroutine, where an array is used but
never assigned a value, in which case Fortran considers it a function
as an actual argument.

In this case, it is referenced but never assigned in the main program.
If there was an assignment, it would have been a compilation error.
Here there is no compilation error, but X is never initialized.
