/* CAUTION: If you edit this member manually, with the File-AID
/* editor or any other editor, immediately issue the command:   
/*    PRESERVE ON      (or its equivalent)                      
/* to preserve trailing blanks which are required by File-AID.  
/*                                                              
/* When you edit criteria outside of File-AID, member type      
/* identification (XREF/CHGC/SELC) may be lost. File-AID will   
/* include unidentified members in all Member List displays;    
/* selecting the correct member is a customer responsibility.   
/*                                                              
/* Manually editing this member has the potential to corrupt    
/* the file and make it unusable. Do so at your own risk.
