Not even close. Manual editing of a card deck is not the FIle
Tailoring service.
even in the rudimentary form of
inserting in or removing from a deck of punched cards one card
containing a single option without the need to add or remove a comma
from the preceding line.
That's problematical in general, and always has been.
This technique was well enough known to FORTRAN
There are analogous problems if you try editing a FORTRAN program by
removing one card.
o Provide explicit assertion of default values for all
keyword options, such as "TYPRUN=NORMAL", or even
simply "TYPRUN=".
That's in there.
