  The Remote Syntax Check and the PL/I compiler do not .
  
  Example:
  
     DCL
     USDI004 ENTRY (1, 3 CHAR(1),
                       3 CHAR(8),
                       3 CHAR(8),
                       3 BIN(31,0) UNAL,
                       3 BIN(31,0) UNAL,
                       3 BIN(15,0) UNAL,
                       3 BIN(15,0) UNAL,
                       3 BIN(15,0) UNAL,
                       3 BIN(15,0) UNAL,
