The bar commands control the insertion of vertical bars (|) at the beginning of lines of text. The bars (usually called change bars) are normally inserted to indicate where changes in text have occurred since the previous edition of a document. You can specify a character other than the default character (vertical bars) to indicate changes by using the /CHANGE_BAR qualifier to the RUNOFF command line.
