        !            17: character string will be converted into hollerith format. e.g. "..."
        !            18: to 27h... if this flag is on.

        !            23: the flag is off, the '&' will appear in column 1 as default.

        !            26: If this flag is on, additional comment lines appear on the converted
        !            27: code.  These comment lines are usually derived from the for loop or
        !            28: while loop usage.
