... The old source code form, which is based on the punched card, and now called fixed form and the new free form. These two forms may not be mixed independently but must be separated at the compilation; an old program, (one or several program units in the form of a main program, subroutines or functions), which is compiled in free form, has the possibility to give a different result compared with earlier when it was compiled with fixed form, compilation errors are possible. ...
