All the following discussion din not answer my question:
Why is BOZ notation restricted to DATA statements.
Isn't the initialization in a type decl stmt equivalent to DATA?
I would like to be able to write
Integer :: Q = Z'00ff00ff'
or even
Integer, parameter :: Q = Z'00ff00ff'
if I want a mask of some sort.
