Table 161 Types of Continuation Symbols
Continuation handling methodContinuation symbol
Except for when another continuation symbol follows this
symbol, the specification is continued from the leftmost
column of the next line, including any consecutive spaces.
Minus sign (-)
Except for when another continuation symbol follows this
symbol, the specification is continued from the leftmost
column of the next line, excluding any consecutive spaces.
Plus sign (+)
If both a continuation symbol and a comment symbol are specified on the same line, the comment
symbol takes precedence.
No more than one parameter can be specified per line. When a continuation symbol is used, the
next line is treated as part of the same line.
Maximum number of characters per line
Even with the use of continuation symbols, the maximum number of characters per line is 32,760.
Specifying comments
Specify a comment symbol (* or #) at the beginning of a line or anywhere in a line that follows
a space, and then specify any comments after the comment symbol. Any characters following a
comment symbol are not treated as part of the parameter.
The comment symbols (* and #) have no functional difference.
