How to avoid vim marking long lines as red when a string exceeds the 73-character column limit

I am using vim to edit a fortran 90 file. The length of a code line exceeds the 73-character column limit:

  print*, &
  "Not sufficiently large neighbours list in dynstillweb, increase max_n"

The problem is that vim not only marks as red the exceeding characters (say, se max_n"), but also the rest of the code instead of the usual white, yellow, and blue colors which make easier reading the code. Is there any command to insert in the .vimrc file to tell vim to increase the character limit and hence avoid the massive red marking?

Thanks!

Have you tried `let fortran_have_tabs=1`? Otherwise, check here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/235439/vim-80-column-layout-concerns – Ross May 19 '15 at 22:07

Have you set `let fortran_free_source=1`? – casey May 19 '15 at 22:39
