Depends how old you're thinking.
Back in 60's and 70's, THE language was FORTRAN, on punched cards;
Columns 1 to 5 were for a statement label (number), column 6 was for a continuation mark,
columns 7 to 71 were for a statement, and columns 72-80 were for a card sequence number,
very handful when one would drop his deck of cards ;-)
