Enclosing in separators is not really required. If you notice the control statements above, only the month portion is OVERLAYed at pos-81 and the FINDREP scanning is set to start at pos-81 to convert the month(mm) to JAN, FEB, etc... The rest of the data would remain unaffected. |
Not recommended, and non-flexible approach. Such methods, in general, are the main reasons why modern software requires monthly/weekly/daily/hourly updates, while old stable programs do work for years and years without problems. |
