Continuation lines

I have the following line of code...

Code:
write(6,201) i, TIME, DTIME, CorM, CorR, CorL, accL + CorL, fluxM, corM / solmass

Due to it's length (and as an experiment in the use of continuation lines to confirm my understanding) I tried to spread this over two lines.

I have tried this...

Code:
write(6,201) i, TIME, DTIME, CorM, CorR, CorL, &
            & accL + CorL, fluxM, corM / solmass

...with the ampersands...
[ul]
[li]one character away from the first/last character[/li]
[li]at column 73 (first one) and column 6 (second one)[/li]
[/ul]

I have also tried this...

Code:
write(6,201) i, TIME, DTIME, CorM, CorR, CorL, &
                accL + CorL, fluxM, corM / solmass

With the ampersand being
[ul]
[li]at 73[/li]
[li]just after the final character[/li]
[li]at a distance from the final character (to keep things consistent and pretty)[/li]
[/ul]

No matter what I do I now get this error message...

Code:
  283 |             write(6,201) i, TIME, DTIME, CorM, CorR, CorL, &
      |                                                            1
Error: Expected expression in WRITE statement at (1)

I have just undertaken a fresh install of GNU Fortran, with the --version being reported as 11.1.0

Anyone any ideas where I am going wrong?
 
What file extension did you use? Normally .f and .for assume fixed format.
