title: Fortran: line to long / append line - but with text at the end?
body: <p>I have a line of Fortran code, which includes some text. I'm changing the text, which makes the code line too long for Fortran, so I split it over two lines using 'a'. </p>
  
  <p>Was:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  IF (MYVAR .EQ. 1) THEN
      WRITE(iott,'(A) (A)') 'ABC=', SOMEVAR
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Changed to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  IF (MYVAR .EQ. 1) THEN
      WRITE(iott,'(A) (A)') 'ABC DEF GHI JK
  a ' // 'L=', SOMEVAR
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is, on the new line (starting with 'a'), does the white space between the 'a'  and the first ' get appended to the string? Or do I need the ' to be the char next to a to prevent additional white space?</p>
  
  <p>As you can tell, I'm not used to Fortran...</p>
