The explanations for each line or block of lines follows:

Lines	Description
000035 003500	A common (unchanged) base record with a relative number (35) shown in command area.
< A 003600	The next (36) base record is missing (that is, deleted) in version A: \< indicates a deletion.
<> B 003600	In version B, a new line replaces the 36th base record: \<> indicates a not equal meaning.
> C 003610	Version C has an inserted line after the 36th base record: > indicates the insertion.
2 Lines DELETED	This line holds the place of two base records that the user deleted during the reconciliation, and therefore are excluded from view. These lines can be undeleted by using a First or Last line command, and then the Undelete line command.
>>`___`D 006400 >>`___`D 006500 >>`___`D 006600 >>`___`D 006700	In version D, a COBOL paragraph has been moved relative to its place in the base versions; >> indicates a pasted action.
/*0039 003900	The 39th base record has also been deleted by the user, but here it is included in view through a First or Last command; `/*` means the line is commented out.
1 Lines DELETED >< + 004000	The user overtyped the 40th base record. >< symbol indicates both a not equal meaning and that the base record has been logically deleted (shown by “1 Lines DELETED”.)
> + 004010	The user has inserted a codeline, as indicated by >.
>> + 005100	The user has pasted the 51st base record here, as indicated by >>.
<<0041 004100	The user cut the 41st base record; << indicates a cut or moved record.
22 Lines NOT Displayed	This line holds the place of 22 base lines excluded from view. These lines can be restored for viewing with appropriate View or Reset primary commands or with First or Last line commands.
>>`___`D 006400 >>`___`D 006500 >>`___`D 006600 >>`___`D 006700	A COBOL paragraph has been moved in version D; << indicates the move.
