Continuations

To put a statement in more than one record of the configuration file, place a comma at the ends of all but the last line of the statement. For example, you can code the CHOOSE_LOGO statement as follows:

 Choose_logo Local         ,
    Address 100-200        ,
    Screen_size 27x132     ,
    MODEL5 LOGO            ,
    'DIAL VTAM'

A comma at the end of a line indicates that the statement is not yet complete. You should not code a comma if the statement information is complete but a comment continues to the next record.

 Choose_logo Local       ,
    Address 100-200      ,
    Screen_size 27x132   ,
    MODEL5 LOGO          ,
    'DIAL VTAM'              /* Go to VTAM if user enters
                                nothing for user or password  */

is valid, but a comma after 'DIAL VTAM' would make the statement invalid, as you have specified no subsequent options. The comma can be placed directly after the last entry on the line. Thus, the example above would also be valid if specified as

 Choose_logo Local,
    Address 100-200,
    Screen_size 27x132,
    MODEL5 LOGO,
    'DIAL VTAM'              /* Go to VTAM if user enters
                                nothing for user or password  */

Finally, a blank line does not cause a continuation to be terminated. You could specify

 Choose_logo Local,
    Address 100-200,
 
    Screen_size 27x132,
    MODEL5 LOGO,
    'DIAL VTAM'              /* Go to VTAM if user enters
                                nothing for user or password  */

because CP ignores any blank lines in the configuration file.
