I never put a continuation mark in JCL either. For one thing it frustrates "insert". But a better reason for not doing it is that you can get really obscure JCL problems that way, which may not even get flagged... just forget the comma after the last parameter on the line and the continuation mark causes the next card image to be treated as a comment! Of course in my opinion, continued comments in JCL and ASM are one of the stupider designs in the IBM mainframe world. Don't use them. /Leonard ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
