While an 80 char limit might have been a problem, it is not "the" 
problem. I just ran ANTAB on this modified file:

CONTROL INDEX = 'R1', 'R2', 'R3', 'R4' /
!
GAIN AR ALTAZ DPFU = 1.0 POLY = 1.0 / 
! (Flat gain curve for AR, all IF's and polarizations,
! zenith point source sensitivity of 1 K/Jy)
!
TSYS AR FT=1.0 INDEX = 'R1', 'R2', 'R3', 'R4' /
!
109  7:10:20.00  3.665610 3.665610 3.665610 3.665610
109  7:10:30.00  3.660120 3.660120 3.660120 3.660120
...
109  9:20:50.00  3.407700 3.407700 3.407700 3.407700

with inputs as before. The result is still a blank table:

 mingus    PRTAB(31DEC02)   1740     18-SEP-2002  18:16:22    Page    1

AIPS 1: Resumes

Here the input is certainly <80 chars per line...
So that didn't fix it.
Thanks again for your help,
Shami
