    Title: SMP/E V3R4.0 Reference
    Document Number: SA22-7772-09

Concerning the rules for GIMZIP SYSIN, I read:

#                            11.7.2.3 "SMP/E V3R4.0 Reference"
     _____________________________________________________________

    11.7.2.3 Syntax notes

    2. Package control tags may contain comments. Comments start with <!--
       (hex 4C5A6060) and end with --> (hex 60606E). The first -->
       encountered after the initial <!-- will end the comment. A comment
       may precede or follow a tag, but may not appear within a tag.

This requires some clarification for me regarding the distinction
between being "contained" and "appearing within".  It would be
helpful if

#                    11.7.3 "SMP/E V3R4.0 Reference"
     _____________________________________________________________

  11.7.3 Example of using GIMZIP

contained at least one instance of a comment contained by a tag,
but not appearing within a tag.

And what I really want to know is what to code in GIMZIP's
SYSIN in order to cause a comment to appear in the generated
GIMPAF.XML file.  I know this is legal, not only because if
I add a comment by hand, RECEIVE FROMNETWORK accepts it, but
also because it's permitted by:

#                            11.7.5.5 "SMP/E V3R4.0 Reference"
     _____________________________________________________________

    11.7.5.5 Syntax notes

    2. Package definition control tags may contain comments. Comments start
       with <!-- (hex 4C5A6060) and end with --> (hex 60606E). The first
       --> encountered after the initial <!-- will end the comment. A
       comment may precede or follow a tag, but may not appear within a
       tag.

(Same semantic problem about "contain" vs. "appear within".)

Thanks,
gil
