Well then, you could do it the other way around:
Real,Target :: p(30,40,1)
Real,Pointer :: a(:,:)
a => a3(:,:,1)
Or if sometimes you want p to point to a, and sometimes to something else
Real,Target :: a3(30,40,1)
Real,Pointer :: a(:,:),p(:,:,:)
a => a3(:,:,1)
p => a3
Both of these work in plain F90, no complicated F2008 feature required!
Cheers.
