/[no]extend_source

Syntax:

/extend_source[:size], /noextend_source, or /4Lsize

The /extend_source or /4Lsize option controls the column used to end the statement field in fixed-format source files. When a size is specified, that will be the last column parsed as part of the statement field. Any columns after that will be treated as comments.

Specifying /extend_source (or /4L132 or /4L80) sets the /fixed option.

In the visual development environment, specify the Fixed-Form Line Length in the Fortran Language Compiler Option Category. The following options are equivalent:

• /noextend_source, /extend_source:72, or /4L72 specify the last column as 72.
• /extend_source:80 or /4L80 specify the last column as 80.
• /extend_source, /extend_source:132, or /4L132 specify the last column as 132.
