I finally found the desired manual.
At page http://www.fh-jena.de/~kleine/history/
I found this reference :
IBM System 360 and System 370 FORTRAN IV Language, 1974.
which can be found here :

Starting at...
I was wrong in my post above, saying that modern compilers tolerate slashed dummy arguments.
In did not noticed that in the environment I am working in, a pre-processing step removes those slashes for the currently used compilers, perhaps leaving them in place when using some specific (old)...
I forgot to answer your first request. Just for the sake of completeness: the code I am working on has dated comments inside starting from the mid '70s ! For sure it has been used with all the generations of compilers, from several manufacturers and on different machines since then !
And just...
Thanks a lot xwb, for your prompt and precise answer !
Telling the truth, I was told it might have been something related to the way arguments are passed to the called routine, but I was looking for an ultimate reference as the one you gave me. Thanks again.
The strange thing is that modern...
Dealing with legacy Fortran code, I found slashed arguments in subroutines/functions definitions and references.
Does anyone remember what is this slashing for ?
I did not find anything about it in any manual I read.
Example
SUBROUTINE(A,/B/,C)
...
END SUBROUTINE
Thanks !
