Tony -- I have done C on CMS for more than 20 years (off and on). Never been limitted to 72 cols that I remember. In the early days I might not have cared. If it ever was a problem, I probably set "(NOMARGINS" like Alan suggests and then forgot it was ever a problem.
One great thing about doing C with CMS is that you can use UPDATE. The length limit for EXECUPDT is 255, which results in 247 cols usable, or 238 with SID codes. I realize you're moving the source the other direction, but ... it could be fun. -- R; <>< On May 18, 2011 8:32 AM, "Tony Thigpen" <t...@vse2pdf.com> wrote: > I am working on a project where I am porting some C code from linux to > VM, so that I can compile it on z/VSE. > > As you can imagine, the 72 characters per line restriction is a problem. > Has anybody else found a way to automate the conversion that they can > share?
