   Why?   
      
   If you are referring to pre-Fortran-90 days, you are also 35   
   years in the past :-)   
      
   A bit more verbiage than required (usually, I would expect people   
   to put their kind numbers into modules):   
      
   module my_kinds   
     use iso_fortran_env, only: real64, int64   
     implicit none   
     private   
     public :: ik, rk   
     integer, parameter :: ik = int64, rk = real64   
   end module my_kinds   
      
   program main   
     use my_kinds   
     implicit none   
     integer(ik) :: sz   
     real(rk), allocatable, dimension(:) :: array   
     read (*,*) sz   
     allocate(array(sz))   
   end program main   
      
   works just fine.
