228. With sequence association, the shapes of the actual and dummy arguments need not match.

topic: Array arguments

Note

This tip is a draft1.

With sequence association the actual argument and an explicit-shape or assumed-size dummy argument can have different shapes or ranks, so a 6-element 1-D array can be passed to a procedure as a 2x3 or 3x2 2-D array.
