CODE Compiler Directive
line of one program unit and the first FORTRAN statement of the next program 
unit.

?BOUNDSCHECK
CODE Compiler Directive
The CODE directive instructs the compiler to list the octal instruction codes generated 
for each program unit, following the source listing for that program unit.
The default value is NOCODE.
Considerations
The effect of the CODE directive is suspended, but not cancelled, by the NOLIST and 
SUPPRESS directives.
Specify the CODE directive either with the FORTRAN command, or in the source input 
file preceding the first FORTRAN statement, or between the END line of one program 
unit and the first FORTRAN statement of the next program unit.
Example
?LIST, CODE
COLUMNS Compiler Directive
The COLUMNS directive causes the compiler to treat all text as comments beyond a 
specified column in each source line, beginning with the line that contains the 
COLUMNS directive.
This directive is designed to make it easy for a SOURCE file to bring in other files with 
different column conventions.
The default is COLUMNS 132.
number
is an unsigned integer in the range 12 through 132. The default value is 132. If you 
specify a value smaller than 12, FORTRAN issues a warning and uses 12. If you 
specify a value larger than 132, FORTRAN issues a warning and uses 132.
