[gradsusr] Continuation character in scripting language?

[Ricardo Hallak]

Ok, 
I have never seen such continuation character in Grads. This is the reason by which I use % to concatenate lines in a huge command. Anyway, it works, although the command is not so clear in the script as it is in Fortran. 

Greetings, 
Ricardo
