There are other ways, but if IEBGENER works for your task, then that's
great.  I'd probably be more inclined to use IEBUPDTE, but the syntax is
completely different, and may not be suitable for your purposes. And I
doubt it supports comments either (I didn't check).

Bottom line is your usage and desire for commenting ability are perfectly
valid.  Just don't think you're going to get much traction on it.
