I re-read the commentary in the exit this morning and it states :
"Source input may be any of the following :
1) Fixed records of any size. Sequence numbers are allowed in columns LRECL-7
through LRECL.
The continuation column is LRECL-8.
2) Variable length records without sequence numbers. Continuation is indicated
with a trailing '+' character.
3) Variable length records with sequence numbers in columns 1-8. Continuation
is indicated with a trailing '+' character.
...."
I think (1) solves the restriction you mentioned and is actually better than I
guessed yesterday.
As regards the "scrunching", here is the comments from the code :
"Blank Elimination / Wrapping of Long Lines:
If a statement is too long to fit in a standard 80-byte assembler source line,
the statement is reformatted as follows:
1) All extraneous blanks between the operation code and operand are eliminated.
2) If the statement is still too long, extraneous blanks between the operand
and commentary are removed.
3) If the statement is still too long, extraneous blanks in front of the
operation code are removed.
4) If the statement is still too long:
a) If the operand fits on the line, the commentary is truncated.
b) If the operand is too long to fit, it is wrapped and continued in
column 16 of the next line along with any commentary. "

(a) imposes a severe restriction on the long-lines facility by requiring that
column 72 be blank. The programmer could accommodate that by coding such as
0C' ', but that's worse than old-fashioned continuation.
The documentation should state the rules completely and unambiguously.
FLOWASM's syntax is relatively good only insofar as HLASM's is absolutely bad.
