Issue/Introduction

When running the CA Datacom utility DBCGSPR to generate source members from the CUSLIB, we noticed that many of the source members had a comma added to the END statements.

For example, in member @IIDOPTS:

         END   ,

Is this comma expected, or is it a problem?

Other members with this comma are:
DBMSTLST
DBSYSID
DBUREND
DQOPTLST
IS08Z09I
DDSYSTBL
DDURTBL
DBCSID
IDOPTSCB
SCASYNTB
SCWEBTB
SCTRANTB
SCBOPTCB

Environment

Release : 15.0
Release : 15.1

Component : CA DATACOM/AD
Component : CA DATACOM/DB

Resolution

According to our R&D team, the comma on the END statement is deliberate, as it prevents any comment that could be added to the card from being treated as an operand of the END statement.
