<dd>Comments (optional): Comments can appear on any line in DDS. They are
identified by an asterisk in position 7.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><span>2</span></dt>
<dd>File level (optional): File-level keywords appear before the first record
format name (RECORDA on line 00040).</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><span>3</span></dt>
<dd>Record level (at least one required): R in position 17 identifies RECORDA
as a record format name. The record level continues until either the first
field is specified or the first help specification.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><span>4</span></dt>
<dd>Help level (optional): H in position 17 identifies the beginning of a
help specification. A help specification continues until the next H in position
17 or until the first field. Each help specification must include at least
one HLPARA keyword, and a HLPRCD or HLPDOC keyword.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"><span>5</span></dt>
<dd>Field level (optional): Display file
fields that are passed between the display device and the program must be
named fields and must have a length specified. Other attributes can be specified
explicitly or by default. Constant (unnamed) fields require only a location
and a keyword, as described in DATE, DFT, TIME, and MSGCON keyword descriptions
in <a href="../rzakc/rzakcmstkeyent.htm">DDS
keyword entries for display files (position 45 through 80)</a>. Positions
17 through 38 do not apply to constant fields.</dd>
