### 6.1.1.3 Automatic Arrays (Alpha only)

An automatic array is a local array that is created when you enter a subprogram. The dimensions are determined by dummy arguments or variables in COMMON when the subprogram is called. For example:

    SUBROUTINE SUB1(N)

    DIMENSION A(N)         ! Variable A is local

N must be a dummy argument or it must be in a common block.
