Re: More than 80 columns

Disregard that last statement. It doesn't work in PDM either. I got the
wrong copy of the source I was working with. It ends abnormally no matter
what.

Re: More than 80 columns






are you coding in /free?

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

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?

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

Although I haven't tried it, I suspect the same limitations apply. I

doubt the parser is different when using a stream file.
