Syntax:
The /altparam option determines how the compiler will treat the alternate syntax for PARAMETER statements, which is:
PARAMETER par1=exp1 [, par2=exp2] ...
This form does not have parentheses around the assignment of the constant to the parameter name. With this form, the type of the parameter is determined by the type of the expression being assigned to it and not by any implicit typing.
In the visual development environment, specify the Enable Alternate PARAMETER Syntax in the Fortran Language Compiler Option Category.
When the /[no]altparam or equivalent options are not specified, the compiler default will be to allow the alternate syntax for PARAMETER statements (/altparam).
To disallow use of this form, specify /noaltparam or /4Naltparam. To allow use of this form, allow the default or specify /altparam or /4Yaltparam.
