on
the
screen:

The first line has the three-part file label - filename
filetype filemode. F 80 means that the length of a line
is
fixed and the file will hold lines up to 80 characters
long. TRUNC means "truncation column."
TRUNC=80
means that if you type more than 80
characters in a line, the additional characters are
rejected by the system. SIZE=O
is
the number of lines
in the file. LINE=O is the file line number of the
current line, which is explained in number 7, below.
