I hate comments - they're only for lame newbies and are not needed because they 
make debugging too easy [1] ... ;-D

Ok, joking aside, that suggestion is a very good and valuable one. I also used 
that comment technique for many things, like layout of PARM fields, PICTURE 
fields (COBOL), arguments passed and received, layout of MASKs like above and 
so on.

I really would like to recommend Robert's suggestion.
