Subscripts can appear only in references to individual elements in a
list, or table, of like elements that do not have individual
data-names.
Format 1 -
{ data-name } ( { arithmetic-expression } ... )
{ condition-name }
Format 2 -
{ ALL }
argument ( { integer-1 }
{ data-name [ {+|-} integer-2 ] } ... )
{ index-name [ {+|-} integer-3 ] }
In Format 2, argument is an intrinsic function argument that is
allowed to be repeated a variable number of times. Note that Format
1 may also be used for intrinsic function arguments when ALL sub-
scripts are not specified. In Format 2, when ALL is specified as a
subscript, the effect is as if each table element associated with
that subscript position were specified.
