The limit for any line is 132 characters. 3. I am using the Compaq visual Fortran 6.6 compiler with Fortran 90 source codes. In a number of programs with free format source codes, I have used single source lines exceeding 132 characters and the compiler compiled the program successfully and the program also ran without any errors. How does this work? An extension, apparently. > Thanks. >Siddeek.
