Procedure status reports are generated by the use of STATUS commands (STATUS_TITLE, STATUS_SHOW, STATUS_END) placed within a procedure.
In general, a procedure would typically contain a STATUS_TITLE command to generate identification of the procedure, followed by one or more STATUS_SHOW commands to show which parameters are required, and a STATUS_END command to indicate the end of the STATUS commands. While the STATUS commands can be anywhere in a procedure, it is conventional to place them near the top.
When a status report is requested, the procedure is searched line by line for STATUS commands. All other commands are ignored. In RUN or HELP mode, STATUS commands are treated like REMark statements and have no effect.
