Column 7
Entry
O This line contains the first characteristic of a new Record Type that has the same spec type
(column 6) as the previous line. The O stands for OR.
* The asterisk indicates a comment line. Comment lines are included as an aid in remembering
why you were proceeding as you were at various points in the program. The comments will be
printed if you leave column 27 of the Header specification blank or enter a zero.
The current Record Type can be further described using additional AND lines, or a new Record Type can be
started after this one using an OR line "BLANK" line (in column 7), provided all Record Types are in the
same section.
