XLF data initialization of common blocks

I'm trying to port some poorly written fortran code to the RIOS box (
IBM RS6000 model 540 ), and ran into a "slight" problem.
It appears that the xlf compiler will not allow me to initialize ( via
the data statement ) a named common block withen a subroutine other
than block data.
At least 6 months ago I talked with someone withen IBM that mentioned
this and stated that this only refers to blank common not named common
blocks.
Since the code ( several hundred thousand lines ) would be practically
impossible to convert -- does ANYONE KNOW OF ANY hidden or not hidden
option that would allow me to do this? Is it reliable? Known problems?
Thanks,
