     Specifies the DOUBLE COMPLEX type for user-defined names.
 
 
     Syntax
 
     DOUBLE COMPLEX vname [ [attrs] ] [(dim)] [/values/]
     [, vname[ [attrs] ] [(dim)] [/values/] ]...
 
     Parameter          Description
 
     vname              Name of the constant, variable, or function.
                        Cannot be the name of a subroutine or a main
                        program.
 
     [attrs]            A list of attributes, separated by commas.
                        Valid attributes are: ALIAS, ALLOCATABLE, C,
                        EXTERN, FAR, HUGE, NEAR, PASCAL, REFERENCE,
                        VALUE.
 
     dim                A dimension declarator. Specifying <dim> declares
                        <vname> as an array.
 
     values             A list of constants to initialize <vname> to,
                        separated by commas.
 
     Remarks
 
     The name <vname> is defined for the entire program unit and cannot
     be defined by any other type of statement in that program unit.
 
     DOUBLE COMPLEX statements must precede all executable statements.
 
     DOUBLE COMPLEX and COMPLEX*16 are the same data type.
