Generally, you must separate include reference verbs of a language from referenced member names with blanks only, and they must appear on the same line. However, there are two exceptions:

• For PL/I includes and JOVIAL members, when coding !COPY or !COMPOOL statements, you can insert comments between !COPY and the include member name. (Note that only JOVIAL uses !COMPOOL.)
• The following parsers support include references on separate lines:
  • FLMLPCBL COBOL parser
  • FLMLRCBL REXX COBOL parser
  • FLMLRASM REXX Assembler parser.

SCLM does not support the following Pascal source statement because a comment separates the referenced member name.

%INCLUDE (* comment *) MEMNAME;

The include reference verb and the reference name must reside on the same line. SCLM does not support the following Pascal statement:

%INCLUDE
INCLMEM ;
