• Put !MIC$ followed by a space anywhere in the line. The !MIC$ characters are the first nonblank characters in the line (actually, non-whitespace).

• Directives are listed after the space.

• An initial directive line has a blank, tab, or newline in the position immediately after the !MIC$.

• A continuation directive line has a character other than a blank, tab, or newline in the position immediately after the !MIC$.

Thus, !MIC$ in columns 1 through 5 works for both free and fixed.

Example: Directive with continuation lines (DOALL directive and parameters.)

C$PAR DOALL
!MIC$&   SHARED( a, b, c, n )
!MIC$&   PRIVATE( i )
	DO i = 1, n
		a(i) = b(i) * c(i)
	END DO

Example: Same directive and parameters, with no continuation lines.

C$PAR DOALL  SHARED( a, b, c, n )  PRIVATE( i )
	DO i = 1, n
		a(i) = b(i) * c(i)
	END DO
