ASPACE instruction

Use the ASPACE instruction to insert one or more blank lines in the listing of a macro definition in your source module, thus separating sections of macro definition code on the listing page.

   '-sequence_symbol-'          '-number_of_lines-'

sequence_symbol: Is a sequence symbol.
number_of_lines: Is a non-negative decimal integer that specifies the number of lines to be left blank. If number_of_lines is omitted, one line is left blank. If number_of_lines has a value greater than the number of lines remaining on the listing page, the instruction has the same effect as an AEJECT statement.

Notes:

The ASPACE instruction can only be used inside a macro definition.
The ASPACE instruction itself is not printed in the listing.
The ASPACE instruction does not affect the listing of statements generated when the macro is called.
