Yes! I haven't used FORTRAN in decades now either, but I can verify that I did exactly that in college when I was first learning "FORTRAN IV", or maybe it was the faster "WATFIV", but I passed a 2 to a subroutine and and it changed it for the rest of the program. On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 4:56 AM,

Do they really exist? Yes (sort of). In about 1990 we converted a big application program from 24-bit to 31-bit. Basically we just divided our load modules into two halves. One part ran below the 16M line to do all the 24-bit I/O code and the rest was 31-bit AMODE(31), RMODE(ANY). That code is
