Fixed-form source records are not padded.

Description

This option specifies padding for fixed-form source records. It tells the compiler that fixed-form source lines shorter than the statement field width are to be padded with spaces to the end of the statement field. This affects the interpretation of character and Hollerith literals that are continued across source records.

The default value setting causes a warning message to be displayed if a character or Hollerith literal that ends before the statement field ends is continued onto the next source record. To suppress this warning message, specify option -warn nousage (Linux and Mac OS X) or /warn:nousage (Windows).

Specifying pad-source or /Qpad-source can prevent warning messages associated with option -warn usage (Linux and Mac OS X) or /warn:usage (Windows).
