The following rules apply to the creation of SCHEDxx:
- Use columns 1 through 71. Do not use columns 72-80, because the
system ignores these columns.
- Comments may appear in columns 1-71 and must begin with “/*”
and end with “*/”.
- A statement type consists of 1-10 characters.
- A statement must begin with a valid statement type followed by
at least one blank.
- A statement ends with the beginning of the next valid statement
type or EOF.
- A statement can be continued even though there is no explicit
continuation character.
- Multiple statement types are accepted.
- Operands must be 60 characters or less and may not span multiple
records.
- Operands must be separated by valid delimiters. Valid delimiters
are a comma, a blank, or column 71. If the operand contains parenthesis,
then the right parenthesis is accepted as a valid delimiter.
- Multiple occurrences of a delimiter are accepted but treated as
one.
