5.3.7 /freeformat, /ff, (/nofreeformat)

The /freeformat command-line qualifier removes the standard column restrictions for Fortran source code. For example, source files can be up to 132 columns and use an ampersand (&) at the end of the line to indicate continuation. See the Fortran Language Reference manual for more information.

Setting /freeformat=f90 allows KAP to accept Fortran conventions and extensions. Continuation lines are indicated with an ampersand (& ) as the first character of the continuation line.

The /freeformat qualifier is off by default, and the usual Fortran 77 conventions apply. For example, files are truncated after column 72 unless you specify the Fortran flag /extend_ source . A character (except a zero or a blank) in column 6 indicates a continuation line.
