-qxflag=oldtab Option<br />

Syntax<br />

-qxflag=oldtab<br />

XFLAG(OLDTAB)<br />

Interprets a tab in columns 1 to 5 as a single character (<strong>for</strong> fixed source <strong>for</strong>m<br />

programs), <strong>for</strong> compatibility with <strong>XL</strong> <strong>Fortran</strong> Version 1.<br />

Defaults<br />

By default, the compiler allows 66 significant characters on a source line after<br />

column 6. A tab in columns 1 through 5 is interpreted as the appropriate number<br />

of blanks to move the column counter past column 6. This default is convenient <strong>for</strong><br />

those who follow the earlier <strong>Fortran</strong> practice of including line numbers or other<br />

data in columns 73 through 80.<br />

Rules<br />

If you specify the option -qxflag=oldtab, the source statement still starts<br />

immediately after the tab, but the tab character is treated as a single character <strong>for</strong><br />

counting columns. This setting allows up to 71 characters of input, depending on<br />

where the tab character occurs.<br />
