Syntax:
For fixed-form source files, the /pad_source option requests that source records shorter than the statement field width are to be padded with spaces on the right out to the end of the statement field. This affects the interpretation of character and Hollerith literals that are continued across source records.
In the visual development environment, specify the Pad Fixed-Form Source Records in the Fortran Language Compiler Option Category.
The default is /nopad_source, which causes a warning message to be displayed if a character or Hollerith literal that ends before the statement field ends is continued onto the next source record. To suppress this warning message, specify the /warn:nousage option.
Specifying /pad_source can prevent warning messages associated with /warn:usage.
