Number of Subscripts

1977 Version of ANSI Standard

2.3.2 Number of Subscripts

There in no explicit restriction on the number of subscripts in any global variable name. There is an implicit limit on the number of subscripts within a global name due to the command line length restriction (Section 4.1). This does not restrict the depth of subscripting within a global array, since repeated naked references may be used to access nodes at any depth.
