I don't know what OpenACC says, perhaps it is different.

For OpenMP, a warning is not good enough, because if Fortran PARAMETER is
not a variable, then the program is invalid and needs to be rejected.
You could improve the diagnostics by adding some explanation message that fortran
PARAMETER is not a variable.
