HLASM provides an ASMAXINV input-exit routine that supports
V-format source lines of any reasonable length.

To me, the next step in HLASM intelligent design would be to abandon
the archaic 80 column card format entirely. Why is it there any more?
Or course, a 200 character line would likely be enough to infuriate
any good HLASM programmer. But a nice 100 character line could be
useful.
