All,
In N2146, one has
9.4.1 Substrings
1 A substring is a contiguous portion of a character string (7.4.4).
R908 substring is parent-string ( substring-range )
R909 parent-string is scalar-variable-name
or array-element
or coindexed-named-object
or scalar-structure-component
or scalar-constant
R910 substring-range is [ scalar-int-expr ] : [ scalar-int-expr ]
Then, later in Sec. 9.5.3.1 (page 134), one finds
1 An array element is a scalar. An array section is an array. If
a substring-range appears in an array-section, each element is
the designated substring of the corresponding element of the
array section.
An array-section is not listed as a possible parent-string,
so how can a substring-range appear with an array-section?
