I believe it says it works on 7.2+

/Free form calcs appeared with V5R1 in the early 2000s.

Free-form declarations appeared in 7.1 around 2015.

**Free complete free-form in 2015 with 7.2.

I doubt if anyone running releases prior to 7.1 is likely to be coding new stuff that requires TFA.

Agreed but sad to see that so much of it is fixed form, though. Even the calcs in some cases.

Maybe this enables compatibility to older systems? I haven't looked closely, though.

:wq! PoC
