Statement coding rules

The following general rules apply to the coding of an instruction statement:

The entries must be written in the following order: name, operation, operand, and remarks.
The entries must be contained in the begin column (1) through the end column (71) of the first line and, if needed, in the continue column (16) through the end column (71) of any continuation lines.
The entries must be separated from each other by one or more spaces.
If used, a name entry must start in the begin column.
The name and operation entries, each followed by at least one space, must be contained in the first line of an instruction statement.
The operation entry must begin at least one column to the right of the begin column.
