Why is the '80' column limitation moot in free form? Do I not have my

code out past column 80 in free form?
The 80 column limit doesn't go away ... I just think that free form RPG eliminates the number of columns as a limiting factor in code.
Since your code is not constrained to specific columns (as you were with old style RPG), you can wrap the code anywhere you want (within 80 columns, of course). This makes it quite reasonable to stay within the 80 columns (IMO). Personally, I think any line that gets close to column 75 needs to be wrapped anyways. Just for readability sake.
