Variable: fortran-line-length

fortran-line-length is a customizable and buffer-local variable defined in fortran.el.gz.

Documentation

Maximum number of characters in a line of fixed-form Fortran code.

Characters beyond this point are treated as comments. Setting this variable directly (after fortran mode is loaded) does not take effect. Use either M-x customize (customize) (which affects all Fortran buffers and the default) or the function fortran-line-length(var)/fortran-line-length(fun) (which can also operate on just the current buffer). This corresponds to the g77 compiler option
-ffixed-line-length-N.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.1.
