Denis - is it possible that your users are attempting to initialise
their arrays at compile time, using e.g. 

	data thing /<some large number> * 0/

If so, the these arrays won't _be_ DZRO.  It is important to write
non-portable code, allowing VMS to implicitly zero arrays, if they
are to be in DZRO clusters.  ** Phil.
