According to <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=information-machine-code-carriage-control-characters> X'03' is "No operation" i.e. "don't print". C'+' is "Print without spacing." Might a more faithful interpretation be to delete the line?
VM RSCS uses X'03' to introduce "Tags": metadata not to be printed. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
