两个传名调用形式参数，其对应的实际参数之间可能存在依赖关系，比如第一个是整数变量i，而第二个是下标变量A[i]，从而导致后者形式参数也依赖于前者形式参数，利用传名调用和这种副作用可以实现Jensen设备（英语：Jensen's Device）[32]；它典型的用于定义对应于的级数过程Sum(k, l, u, ak)，它有两个传名调用的形式参数：索引变量k和通项（general）表达式ak。
对于交换两个参数的值的swap(x, y)过程，其过程主体定义为：t:=x; x:=y; y:=t，这种依赖性副作用会导致可能出现异常行为，由于名字替代机制相当于宏展开（expansion），过程语句swap(i, A[i])中下标变量A[i]的下标i未经求值，对应的过程主体就转换成为：t:=i; i:=A[i]; A[i]:=t。1964年IFIP（英语：International Federation for Information Processing）工作组2.1（英语：IFIP Working Group 2.1）制定了《SUBSET ALGOL 60报告》，在这个子集语言中对“完全的名字概念”（full name-concept）增加了一项限制：在名字替代（传名调用）中，实际参数只能是一个标识符或字符串。

52.3.1. Considering a mathematical expression, e.g. an integral it is seen that the variables x and y serve entirely different purposes: y is a variable upon which the value of I depends; in mathematical logic this is called a free variable (of the expression). This latter term indicates that one is free to substitute a value, e.g. 2.75, for y, where-upon one obtains the result The variable x, on the other hand, is only an auxiliary object for describing the operation to be performed by the expression. It is called a bound variable since it is not accessible from outside the expression. ……
52.3.2. Comparing these examples with an ALGOL procedure and the terminology used ……, it becomes obvious that the free variables correspond to what are called the operands of a procedure, while the bound variables correspond to the internal quantities.”

Operands of a procedure …… Indeed, execution of a procedure means essentially execution of this fictitious block, …… However, it is one of the most important properties of procedures that their operands - besides being distinguished as arguments, results, transients and exits - fall into three categories, namely ⒜ Those operands of the fictitious block whose identifiers are not quoted in the formal parameter part are called global operands of the procedure. …… ⒝…… formal operands ……⒞…… hidden operands ……
44.3.1. A global parameter - that is, the identifier of a global operand - represents the same quantity inside the procedure body as outside in the environment of the procedure declaration. A global operand is therefore simply the extension of a quantity which exists outside the procedure. As a consequence we have
44.3.2. The environment rule for global parameters: If the identifier I is global parameter of a procedure, then a (true or formal) quantity Q with that identifier must exist in the environment of the procedure declaration, and it is this Q which in a call of the procedure is meant by the identifier I.
According to this rule, a global parameter acts like a thread which links the procedure declaration permanently to its environment; indeed, a procedure which has global parameters is only fully defined if it is embedded into an ALGOL program in which the global operands are properly declared.”
Here the integer type variable t is suppressed in block z, and therefore the actual parameter of the call «common(t)» refers to the real type
variable which is local to block z. …… the t occurring as global parameter of procedure common refers to the
suppressed quantity t. The above rule makes this evident by requiring that the name of the real type variable t be changed throughout block z into tee before the substitution rule is applied:
Now the substitution rule yields the equivalent block for the call «common(t)» correctly as (æ denoting again the hypothetical variable necessary to make this piece of program a block) «beginrealæ;t:=tæend».
Accordingly, this call accomplishes something which would seem impossible, namely changing the value of a suppressed variable.
45.2.5. ……Consequently no name changes apply where the identifier of a global operand not suppressed at the location of a procedure call coincides with the identifier of an actual operand.”

In view of its ad-hoc character it seems doubtful that the Jensen device (and to some extent even the full name-concept) is the last word in programming language design. Indeed, the dependence of the components of an array upon its subscripts (and likewise the dependence of a function upon its arguments) is more appropriately described by means of CHURCH'S lambda notation rather than through the bound variables of a computing process. Accordingly, we conclude with a sideview to a possibility for introducing this notation in a future ALGOL, but in doing so we strictly adhere to a SUBSET like language-concept, i.e. one in which quantities rather than names play the fundamental role.

For inarray and outarray the order in which the components of the array b are transferred is defined to be what for matrices (two-dimensional arrays) is usually called "row-wise". More precisely: b[i1, i2, ……, ip] is transferred before b[j1, j2, ……, jp] provided we have for some h ≤ p: il = jl for l = 1, 2, ……, h - 1, but ih < ih.
Moreover, these procedures always transfer all components of the array appearing as the second actual operand.
