MEA CULPA...try it with F77 sometime.  Must be a defect in my
compiler.

Come on at least look up the Fortran Standard before submitting things like 
this. Fortran labels are not integers. Thus statements like GOTO IJK are
illegal. The above DO loop is unambiguous  and perfectly
legal Fortran. The label associated with the loop is 10, the 
control variable is named E7 and is of type integer.

No problems even for archaic old Fortran !!
