Without knowing what compiler you're using, there is no way to know if there is an option for your FORTRAN compiler to accept non-standard input line formats. (The FORTRAN 66 and 77 languages basically assumed that programs were entered into a system on 80 column punched cards. And, the last 8 columns were reserved for comments.) Most C compilers have no limit other than the fact that C source files are text files and text files have a maximum line length of LINE_MAX bytes including the terminating <newline> character. (You can find the value of LINE_MAX on your system by running the command: getconf LINE_MAX.)
The best way to determine if there is an option on your compiler is to read the man page on your system for your compiler. If you invoke your compiler by executing f77, then the command: man f77 should give you the man page for your compiler.

Is there a maximum length for a shell script command? How can I detect that in my OS?
For example, if I have something like:

then can we break the commands and also the arguments inside awk ?

HCC(1) LAM TOOLS HCC(1)
NAME
hcc, mpicc, hcp, mpiCC - Compile LAM C/C++ programs.
SYNTAX
hcc [-showme] ...
hcp [-showme] ...
see cc(1) and CC(1) (or whatever your underlying C/C++ compilers are) for all other options.
DESCRIPTION
hcc and hcp are convenience wrappers for the local native C and C++ compilers. Translation of a LAM program requires the linkage of the
LAM specific libraries which may not reside in one of the standard search directories of ld(1). It also often requires the inclusion of
header files what may also not be found in a standard location. hcc passes its arguments to the local native C compiler along with the -I,
-L and -l options required by LAM programs. This includes all necessary options for ROMIO and/or C++ bindings support (if ROMIO/C++ sup-
port was included when LAM was compiled). hcp is similar, but invokes the native C++ compiler instead.
mpicc is now the same as hcc, just as mpiCC is now the same as hcp. See the NOTES section, below.
By default, hcc uses the C compiler that was selected when LAM was configured (with the --with-cc flag to ./configure, or by setting the
environment variable CC before ./configure was invoked) as the local native C compiler, but this can be overridden by the LAMHCC environ-
ment variable. Likewise, hcp uses the C++ compiler that was selected when LAM was configured (with the --with-cpp flag to ./configure, or
by setting the environment variable CXX before invoking ./configure) by default, but this can be overridden by the LAMHCP environment vari-
able.
OPTIONS
-showme
Does not invoke the underlying C/C++ compiler. Instead, it shows the command line that would be executed to compile the C/C++ pro-
gram.
NOTES
Previous versions of hcc and hcp did not automatically link in the MPI library. Starting with LAM version 6.3, since hcc and hcp have
become the de facto LAM C and C++ compilers, the -lmpi option is now automatically passed to the underlying compiler when linking LAM/MPI
programs.
Previous versions of LAM included the mpicc and mpiCC wrapper scripts to automatically pass -lmpi to hcc and/or hcp. These scripts are now
obsolete since hcc and hcp now include -lmpi automatically. mpicc and mpiCC are now symbolic links to hcc and hcp, respectively, to ensure
backward compatibility.
