 MISSING# is an edit macro which helps you find missing numbers in a column
 which is supposed to have numbers in sequence.  For instance, if you are
 working on a document of some type where you have numbered bullets.  If those
 numbers are in a consistent column (right or left justified), MISSING# can tell
 you if you missed any numbers in your sequencing process.  If, for example, you
 numbered one item "23" and the next item "27" accidently, MISSING# would insert
 ISPF/PDF editor "message lines" before item "27" which told you that sequence
 numbers "24", "25", and "26" were missing.
 
 Syntax is as follows:
 
 COMMAND ===> missing# n1 n2 {other operands}
 
 "n1" is the beginning column of the number and "n2" is the ending column of the
 number.  "other operands" would be things like "x" or an edit label range to
 limit the processing.  The operands are optional and the whole file is
 processed if no operands are specified.
