  The same logic is coded without using the continuation
  character.

  runtime members after you have installed this PTF. To do that:
  1. Navigate to the main menu of 'OMEGAMON XE for DB2 Performance
  Expert on z/OS'.
  2. Select option 3 'Create runtime members'.
  3. Select option 2 'DB2 subsystem selection/install DB2 related
  members'
  4. Select the DB2 subsystems that you want to monitor. Press
  ENTER, then press F3.
