H Ben,
On first glance you have a mismatch between the type of a variable and
the data you are trying to initialize.
But, in most cases, we here at gcc-help give erroneous advice when all
we see is a code fragment. If you could make us a small, "should be
compilable" fragment showing both the declaration and the
data statement, maybe we can help out.
Here is an example that I think shows your problem, but it works !!
$ cat data.f
INTEGER T
DATA T /'VHF '/
PRINT*,T
END
$ g77 data.f
$ ./a.out
541476950
also the output of "g77 --version" can be useful.
