The $.GUARD option causes all patch records within a specified sequence range to be flagged with the specified comment in a special report in the printer output. No more than 100 areas can be guarded in this manner. If a fatal error occurs, no $.GUARD output is generated. The $.GUARD option must be the last control option specified on the $. record.
