Procedure Specification Continued Name Line

Start of change
Free-Form Syntax Positions 8 to 80 are available for continued names. Do not code an ellipsis (...) at the end of the final part of the name. See Free-Form Procedure Statement.
End of change
A name that is up to 15 characters long can be specified in the Name entry of the procedure specification without requiring continuation. Any name (even one with 15 characters or fewer) can be continued on multiple lines by coding an ellipsis (...) at the end of the partial name. A name definition consists of the following parts:
  1. Zero or more continued name lines. Continued name lines are identified as having an ellipsis as the last non-blank character in the entry. The name must begin within positions 7 to 21 and may end anywhere up to position 77 (with an ellipsis ending in position 80). There cannot be blanks between the start of the name and the ellipsis character. If any of these conditions is not true, the line is parsed as a main procedure-name line.
  2. One main procedure-name line, containing a name, begin/end procedure, and keywords. If a continued name line is coded, the Name entry of the main procedure-name line may be left blank.
  3. Zero or more keyword continuation lines.
