10   The maximum number of characters allowed in a single character string
11   is 256.

13 to read:
14 
15   The maximum number of characters allowed in a single character string
16   constant is 512. The maximum size of a character variable is 1301071
17   (128K-1).
18 
19   The  use  of  large  character variables may cause the compiler to
20   indicate that it has overflowed the limit of 62000 words of automatic
21   storage, or 128K words of static storage. This can be avoided by
22   compiling with the -large_array (-la) option.

32     > Syntax
33            equivalence (e, e[,e]...)[,(e, e [,e]...)]...

35      name.

39     > Substring indexes are unsigned integer constants and can only take on
40       positive values.
41 after
42    > Subscripts are all unsigned integer constants or constant expressions,
43      and they may take on negative values.
