DOC

The DOC command marks a line of text as documentation rather than commands. This documentation is used for on-line help.

 DOC text

where

 text    - any character text to the end of the line.

EASI scans the procedure and prints to your screen the text associated with every DOC statement it finds until it encounters a subtopic, a DOC_END statement, or the end of the procedure. It is standard practice to put DOC statements at the beginning of a procedure.

A special form of the DOC statement is used to identify subtopics. Subtopic identification lines have the form:

 DOC # topic

where

 #       - a subtopic level from 1 to 9
 topic   - a 1 to 15 character subtopic identifier

Note: There must be only one space between the DOC statement and the subtopic level number.
