Re: Line longer than 80 characters

"Uh, the standard source line length for ILE RPG has been 100 characters
(plus SRCSEQ and SRCDAT fields) from inception.

Whether one can put actual code before 6 or after 80, I've never had any
reason to look into."

Sorry, not true. On the CRTSRCPF you can specify a length. Default of 92
means source line is 80. If you define as 132, you get a source line length
of 120, If you define at 112, you would get a 100.

The RPG compiler just say anything before 6 is a comment and anything past
80 is a comment. New PTF's mean we can start at position 1 and go to length
of source record with code. To start a comment, //.

Consist with any other programming language.
