This is not true. (Unless you are saying there is a local coding style someone is requiring you to use.) Fortran 90/95 allows two code formats: Fixed Formatting is the old style. Continuations use a non-blank, non-zero character in column six of the continuation line. There is no need for anything in column 73 or anywhere else at the end of the preceding line. In fact, normally anything beyond column 72 is ignored. Free Formatting is the modern style. Continuations are indicated by an ampersand at the end of the uncompleted line -- anywhere at the end. There is nothing special about column 73, and lines can be considerably longer than 73 characters. Nothing is required at the beginning of the continuation line, although an ampersand is permitted. In Free Format there is also no need to start in column 7. The format is usually selected with a compiler option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
