The ANNOTATE command documents the development of an element. This command creates an output file that contains an annotated listing; by default, the file name is the same as the element name and the file type is .ANN. The annotated listing file contains two parts: o A history o A source file listing The history includes the generation number, date, time, user, and remark associated with each generation of the element (and other file-related information when you use the /FULL qualifier). The generations are listed in reverse chronological order. The generation numbers of the specified generation and its ancestors are marked with an asterisk (*). The source file listing contains all the lines inserted or modified from generation 1 to the specified generation. The listing does not show lines deleted from the file. CMS inserts consecutive line numbers in the listing unless editor-assigned line numbers already exist. (The line numbers start with 1 for the first line and increase by 1 for each line.) The generation field starts at the first character position of each line. It contains the generation number of the most recent generation in which the line was inserted or modified. The generation field is blank if a line is unchanged since generation 1.
