Attributes

Table 10-1 “Attribute compatibility” lists all the attributes that an HP Fortran entity can have and indicates their compatibility. If the box at the intersection of two attributes contains a check mark, the attributes are mutually compatible and can be held simultaneously by an entity. The attributes are referred to throughout this chapter as well as in the rest of the book.
