Control-statement syntax for APSRMARK

A SYSIN DD statement precedes the control statements that provide input to APSRMARK. These statements use the following syntax:

• Control statements must be 80-column records.
  • The first 71 columns can contain valid APSRMARK parameters.
  • Statements that do not fit on one line can be continued on the next line by using any nonblank character in column 72.
  • APSRMARK ignores columns 73 through 80. If you want, you can put a sequence number in these columns.
• Blanks are optional and can be placed between parameters to make the statement more readable.
• An asterisk (*) in column 1 denotes a comment statement.

APSRMARK reports any syntax errors and I/O errors found in the parameters of the control statement.
