Hello all:

I'm reviving an old and "odd" code that originated in late 70's era trying it out with the new generation of new Fortran compilers like PGI's VF on a 2010 Visual Studio IDE. My issue is continuation line in the COMMON block specification - after many cut and tries (and searches) just can't figure it out? Tried out ampersand "&" also column 6 blanks I actually put them all together on a very long single line removing the dots - it took out this error but my code on that line looks like a mile long to read - I need some way of continuation of line that works.

I hope the readers could shed some light and some help.

Here is a code snippet:

COMMON/PLACOM/
. NUMB , CHARGE, XMASS , SCCH , ISTART, QM , NTYPES, NNX ,
. NNY , FLNNX , DT , ISTEPS, ISTP , NUMBIN, TOTCH , PFACT ,
. NR1 , NR2 , NR3 , NR4 , NR5 , NR6 , NR7 , NR8 ,
. NR9 , NR10 , NR11 , NR12 , NR13 , NR14 , NR15 , NR16 ,
. NR17 , NR18 , NR19 , NR20 , NR21 , NR22 , NR23 , NR24 ,
. NR25 , NUMCH , MKPART, ITEST , NWPP , ITP , IRO2 , IRO3 ,
. CHFACT, NCORE , NTMAX , ELPROD, PVX , PVY , IPCELL, IDCARD,
. IPIC , K1FST , EPITAX, EPIDOP, JTEST , EPSLON, AKXFAC, AKYFAC,
. EXFACT, EYFACT, HXCELL, HYCELL, NCASE , NSPY , IOUT ,
. NR26 , NR27 , NR28 , NR29 , NR30 , NR31 , NR32 , NR33 ,
. NR34 , NR35 , NKLIM

and here is what PGI VF complains below:
