Continuing the comments field

Include comments by following an interrupted parameter field with at least one blank. To continue a comment:
  1. Interrupt the comment at a convenient place before column 72, up to and including column 71.
  2. Code a nonblank character in column 72.
  3. Code // in columns 1 and 2 of the following statement.
  4. Code a blank character in column 3 of the following statement.
  5. Continue the comments field beginning in any column after column 3.

You can use JCL comment statements as an alternative way to imbed comments in the JCL stream.
