WRITE CONTINUATION CHARACTER IN COLUMN

Syntax:

WRITE CONTINUATION CHARACTER IN COLUMN [:] <integer>

Function:

This command specifies the target column for the free format continuation character. The continuation character is written in this column unless:

• the column is already occupied by code. In this case the continuation character is written after the code;
• there is a trailing comment after the code. fpt records the original column in which the trailing comment started. If this is less than the specified continuation character column the continuation character is written two columns before the trailing comment with an intervening space. If this column is already occupied by code the continuation character is written after the code and the trailing comment is moved to make way for it. Spacing between the code and the continuation character is controlled by the command: SPACE BEFORE.
