It has been five years since I wrote COBOL to any extent and I'm sure things have improved since then.

Is it possible to add comments to a line of code after the period? I want to make notes on the actual line and not write a general comment for a section of code. I need to label this stuff because GR-VAL7-2B and TOTAL-CODE-93 need to be a bit more descriptive.

Thanks,
