Sequence Number (Columns 1-5) This field lets you assign a unique sequence number to each line in your source program. You can use sequence numbers to help you locate lines in the source program listing or lines that have been added or changed. Enter values into this field as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | Columns 1-5 | Description | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | 00000 - 99999 | The sequence number of the specification. You can omit | | | leading zeros (leading, trailing, or embedded blanks are | | | treated as zeros). Enter sequence numbers in ascending | | | order. | | | | | | Sequence numbers are used for documention purposes only - | | | RPG does not sequence-check programs. | | | | | blank | No sequence numbers are used. | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A convention that you might use when entering sequence numbers is to reserve columns 1 and 2 for page numbers and columns 3 and 4 for line numbers within each page. Use column 5 for line insertions. For example, sequence number 01013 indicates page 01, line 01. Since the line insertion number is 3, the line was added after the original sequence numbers were assigned.
