I created a source physical file with record length of 240 but it still
only let me code to column 80. Everything after that was just a comment
to the compiler. Are you using a compiler directive or something?
Thanks

Re: More than 80 columns
Hi, David:
A quick experiment reveals that you can use up to 100 columns for source
code for /free format. This is true for source physical files (where you
can create a record length up to about 240 for use with SEU), and for
stream files (where there is no imposed limit.)
From what I can tell, from error messages generated and the compiler
listing, it appears to actually "cut off" at around column 103 ...? :-o
All the best,
Mark

doubt the parser is different when using a stream file.
