I was on bitsavers, so I looked.I thought I remembered that the old Sort/Merge program supported comments on the control cards. See pages 11 and 12. http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/os/R01-08/C28-6543-2_Sort_Merge_Apr66.pdf
I'm sure that DFSORT would have always accepted any valid Sort/Merge statements. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
