I just thought it was odd that the continued comments column is different for
an instruction vs a macro.
Perhaps the difference is that the data in column 16 of the continuation line
of the macro invocation is actually part of the macro invocation, not a comment.
Consider:
MACRO
A machine instruction can only be continued by coding the
operands to the end of the line and using a continuation
indicator, so once a space or comment on the same line has been
encountered, anything starting in column 16 on the next line
could only be a comment and there is no ambiguity.
Some st
Something interesting/confusing I noticed today.
The HLASM Language Reference documents the continuation column as 16.
For an instruction this works:
L R10,4(,R1)comment x
<'x' in column 72>

For a macro:
SAVE (14
