TEXT (Text) keyword in printer files

Use this record- or field-level keyword to supply a text description (or comment) for the record format or field that is used for program documentation.

The format of the keyword is:

TEXT('description')

The text must be enclosed in apostrophes. If the length of the text is greater than 50 positions, only the first 50 characters are used by the high-level language compiler.

Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.

Example:

The following example shows how to specify the TEXT keyword at the record and field levels.

|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
