Continuing comments

Use the Toggle Comment Continuation action to scan the selected lines in the editor for a continuation character in column 71.

1. Select the lines of JCL that you want to scan.
   If you do not select any lines, then only the line that contains the cursor is scanned.
2. Select Source > Toggle Comment Continuation or press Ctrl+Shift+/.
   The JCL Editor scans the selected lines for a continuation character in column 71. If it finds any continuation characters, then all the selected lines are updated to remove the comment continuation characters. If it finds no continuation characters, then the default continuation character is added to all selected lines, even if those lines do not contain JCL statements with trailing comments. The default continuation character is set on the Typing preference page.
