Full global reference eol

Eol is defined to be a logical end-of-line record as mutually defined by the sending and receiving environments.

The full global reference shall conform to a global variable name specification as defined by ANSI/MDC X11.1–1994 section 1, subclause 7.1.2.4. When data contains ASCII control characters, decimal (0–31,127), the user shall be responsible for handling the accurate reconstruction of the data string in the host environment. Subscripts in the full global reference shall not contain the ASCII control characters decimal 0–31 or 127. Optionally, either two successive blank lines or the string "***GBL END***" denotes the end of the file.
