Statement structure
Source records are 80 bytes in size, but with columns 73-80 being reserved for sequence numbers.
Essentially there are three fields on a statement:
- Name field - historically 8 bytes long but can now be much longer, terminated by a blank.
- Operation field - this contains either an instruction or macro name, terminated by a blank.
- Operands field - contains the operands required by the Operation, terminated by a blank.
A comment can be included after the operands and prior to column 72.
