<$.RPG option>

── $.RPG ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

The $.RPG option tells the PATCH utility to expect input in RPG format; that is, with sequence numbers in columns 1 through 5 and a dollar sign ($) in column 6. When $.RPG is TRUE, all special $ records recognized by the PATCH utility must appear in column 6. But the record actually setting the $.RPG option must have a $. starting in column 1. If RPG is TRUE, any $DELETE or $VOIDT records produce $DELETE records.
