Comment Cards

The data-card deck for a run must begin with one or more comment cards which can contain a breaf description and structure parameters for the run. The cards are printed at the beginning of the output of the run for identification only and have no effect on the computation. Any alphabetic and numeric characters can be puched on these cards. The comment cards, like all other data cards, have a two-letter identifer in columns 1 and 2. The two forms for comment cards are:

when a CM card is read, the contents of columns 3 through 80 is printed in the output, and the next card is read as a comment card. When a CE card is read, columns 3 through 80 are printed, and reading of comments is terminated, The next card must be geomentry card. Thus, a CE Card must always occur in a data deck and my be preceded by as many CM cards as are needed to describe the run.
