A much better alternative is the FLOWASM exit for ASMA90 by Ed Jaffe. Removes col72 and col16 requirements completely.

ICTL 1,79,16 moves the continuation column to 80, allowing more "free form" coding, leaving more room for comments, and not having to worry about where that pesky column 72 is, which is effectively moved to column 80 where it's easier to see and code for when necessary. When a macro is invoked, the assembler mixes "traditional" code with a "non-standard" ICTL directive. Yeah, 73-80 was for sequence numbers, but I haven't dropped a deck of cards for some time now.
