Include Reason Codes COBOL Include reason codes in the audit report explaining why a line was changed or deleted.

Mark Modified Legacy Code COBOL, RPG Mark modified code in the component source. In the Comment Prefix field, enter descriptive text (up to six characters) for the modified lines.

Use Left Column for Marks COBOL, RPG Place the descriptive text for commented-out or modified lines in the lefthand column of the line. Otherwise, the text appears in the righthand column.
