correction (maybe).  I just checked the latest manual.  At:
   http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3lr30/3.1.6


it says that the continuation of a comment-entry must be in the B-margin.

THEREFORE, I would like to see a "clean compile" with DATE-MODIFIED in the
A-margin - before committing to whether this should or should NOT be
allowed.  (If coded in the B-margin, it certainly WOULD be allowed.)
