Odd specification error

The following compile OK

INTEGER*1 BYTE(2)/1,2/, BYTE1/3/

or

INTEGER*1 BYTE1, BYTE(2)/1,2/

but this (and variations of it)

INTEGER*1 BYTE1/3/, BYTE(2)/1,2/

produces the compilation error 'Not enough variables in DATA statement'

?

This bug has now been fixed for the next release. You get the same error report for any VAX type initialisation of this form whatever the data type.
