Control Statement Format

Observe the following rules when coding control statements:

Use columns 1-72.

Blank statements and statements with an asterisk in column 1 are printed but not processed.
Many control statements and parameters can be abbreviated. In the following sections, the minimum abbreviation is underlined.
All batch functions can be specified in the same execution.
It is not necessary to continue control statements. However, the Print command can effectively be continued by specifying two or more consecutive Print commands.
