Backport of #24778.
Closes #24746. Not a very elegant solution, but short of reworking the parser completely, probably the best which can be done for now.
There are two bugs which are fixed by this, the first relates to an edge case in F77, and the second is to handle multi-line data statement definitions which may or may not have comments.
For the second part, the "fix" is to ignore it completely, since anyway the data statements get their value from the Fortran execution, and are therefore useless from a bindings perspective.
The first case likewise is a "fallback" mechanism which will work for statements without declared (or inferred) types (only shows up in F77).
A more full discussion is on the issue, #24746.
