Have you tried to run DMPOBJ on a program created from totally-free
source and a longer record length - the SPLF output from that command
wraps stuff, anyhow, showing either 16 or 32 characters per line - I'd
expect it to wrap whatever you have, and there might even be something
in the dump giving a row length - I don;t know about that.

Interesting!

We have the capability for totally-free RPG but we haven't started
creating anything in that format, yet (we will, though). If it comes down
to it, I will modify what I've got to work. But I thought I'd ask, first.
I expect issues not just with record length but with having no prefix
area for columns 1 through 5. This code I found ignores those columns.

So, if I made my own modifications I would have to figure all that
out -- i.e., how to differentiate between fixed-format, free-format, and
totally-free-format. As it is, it is at least working for fixed-format
and the initial free-format that still includes the prefix area and only
up to a 100-character line length.
