With the appropriate PTFs you can code completely free in RPG.
If you specify **FREE in position 1 in a row in your source code, all
subsequent RPG statements must be completely free and can be written between
position 1 and the length of your source file.
Within your source code there is no way to go back to fixed format P, F-, D,
C-Specs.
i.e. if you want to add new code at the end of an existing source, you can
continue in completely free, by specifying *FREE after the existing source
code.
But it is not possible for example to include a copy-member in this
completely free source code that includes fixed format specs.

Betreff: Line longer than 80 characters
Anyone heard anything more on being able to have lines longer than 80
characters in RPG? The ability to use positions 1 through 6 and 81 out for
code.
The last I heard about it was waiting for PTF's to implement in RPG
compilers.
