I am trying to port a VMS fortran program into the Sun Unix system.
One problem I quickly encounter is the meaning of a compilation
command in VMS. I have something like
$FOR/CONTINUATIONS=99 CAUSES.
I don't have a VMS Fortran manual. Can someone explain what it
means?
-Thanks

The F77 standard, and most F77s, allow up to 19 continuation lines for a statement. VAX FORTRAN permits more; the option sets how many to accept. -- Roger B.A. Klorese MIPS Computer Systems, Inc. {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!rogerk 928 E.
