Columns 73-80 in my directory are not sequential. They seem to be a
date/time stamp of when a record was modified by a DIRMAINT command. I
don't use them. My xedit profile does a 'Verify 1-72' for directory
entries. I think they can be gotten rid of if a good audit log is kept.

Re: How comments treated by DIRMAINT
If all of the records were actually the same length (as are the current
directory source records, having a sequence number in 72-80), RECFM V
would waste space, not save it.
Think of the disk savings!
