>>From F2003:

C402 (R402) The type-param-value for a kind type parameter shall be
an initialization expression.

7.1.7

An initialization expression is an expression with limitations that
make it suitable for use as a kind type parameter, initializer, or
named constant.  It is an expression in which each operation is
intrinsic, and each primary is

      (1)   A constant or subobject of a constant,


character(:),allocatable::string
integer::length
length=5
allocate(character(len=length)::string)

length is not a constant.
