Well it appears its a problem with issuing the compile command from WDSC.
When I compile using PDM it goes fine, but from WDSC it balks. Any
thoughts? Or is this now a WDSC question?

Re: More than 80 columns






are you coding in /free?

With fix format c-specs, 80 is the limit.

to the compiler. Are you using a compiler directive or something?

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
