.AND./IAND BUG?

[jonnygto]

The operation  KERR.AND.O'17'
where KERR is declared as an INTEGER, gives the compiler error message:
"The arguments to this bitwise intrinsic or operator must be the same size".

According to the F77 documentation, INTEGER's and integer constants both take 4 bytes,
but I have to declare KERR as INTEGER*8 in order to compile.

The Fortran standard limits the context where BOZ constants can used to:

C410 (R411) A boz-literal-constant shall appear only as a data-stmt-constant in a DATA statement, as the actual argument associated with the dummy argument A of the numeric intrinsic functions DBLE, REAL or INT, or as the actual argument associated with the X or Y dummy argument of the intrinsic function CMPLX.

In your context, the INT function with a KIND optional argument will wort:

KERR.AND.int(O'17',4)

Thank you for the information. I'm working with legacy Vax F77 code in which this was legal. The restriction is a new one on me.
