Bob, there's no reason for the /end-free.  Any line with a 'C' in
position 6 should just be taken as a fixed-format line.

This is complexity by fiat; a restriction added entirely at the
discretion of the compiler team.  Better yet of course is a free-format
MOVE:

> /FREE
>       Eval  x= a+b/c;
>       Movel ACTNBR OLDACTH;
>       Eval msg = OldActH + 'Here ya go!';
> /end-fREE

Anyway, as Colin says, old horse.
