REFORMAT HEADER

Syntax:

[ DO NOT ] FORMAT HEADER [ COMMENTS ]

[ DO NOT ] REFORMAT HEADER [ COMMENTS ]

Function:

Controls whether or not FPT reformats header comments in the same way as comments within the code body of a file. Header comments are considered to be all comments written before the first statement in a file which is not an OPTIONS, PROGRAM, BLOCK DATA SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION or MODULE statement.

By default, comments within the body of a file are indented to the same level as the code according to the following rules:

• if, in fixed format code, the original comment starts before the end of the label field it is transcribed without modification;

• if the original comment starts after the label field it is indented to the same level as the code. Thus, for example, if the code is indented by 10 spaces, 6 for the label field and 2 each for two levels of DO loop nesting, the comments are also indented by 10 spaces.

Indentation of all comments may be enabled or suppressed by the command INDENT COMMENTS
