<patch WFL record>

── $* ──<WFL statement>─┬─────┬────────────────────────────────────────┤
                        └─ - ─┘

$* records contain special WFL statements (without comments). The PATCH utility puts these records into an array and performs an ALGOL ZIP WITH ARRAY operation. The PATCH utility modifies the $* records by placing a semicolon at the end of each statement and preceding each statement with a question mark (?) as shown in the following example. You can suppress this modification feature for that record by placing a hyphen (-) in column 80.

Example

$*RUN MYPROG ON MYPACK
?RUN MYPROG ON MYPACK;
