Hello,

I have the following problem regarding the usage of  derived
data types. Assumed the following data types and variables are
defined:

TYPE derived_scalar
     REAL :: a
     ...
END TYPE derived_scalar


TYPE derived_array
     TYPE(derived_scalar), DIMENSION (10, 200, 2) :: big
     ...
END TYPE derived_array


TYPE(derived_array):: b, c

Do the following two Fortran lines mean the same ?

1: c%big(:,:,:)%a = b%big(:,:,:)%a
2: c%big%a = b%big%a

Or in other words, does the F90 standard provide an
automatic copy of all a-elements in b to c by using
the second line?

Regards,

Göran
