You can code your total calcs using free-form calcs.  The only catch
is that you need to code a fixed-form calc to begin your total
calcs.  The way I'd code the above would be:

      /END-FREE
     CL0   total_calcs   TAG
      /FREE
          if *inlr;
             Exsr EOJRtn;
          endif;
      /END-FREE
