Using Coding Conventions

When coding CONSDEF macros, follow the standard IBM rules:

• Place all macro specifications between columns 2 and 71 of the definition deck. To continue across cards, enter an X in column 72 and start the continuation card in column 16.
• Include at least one space between the macro name, CONSDEF, and the first keyword parameter, TYPE. Do not include any more spaces. An exception applies for literal operands, where spaces can be included between the surrounding (single) quotes.
• Specify each macro keyword fully. You cannot use a shortened version of any keyword.
