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.
It is also useful for TR/TRT tables since it allows you to see what
byte is used for any input value.
