Are you certain that these are Changeman skeletons, and not ISPF skeletons?

Changeman is build using ISPF skeletons.
So,
)CM is a comment.
)IM means IMbed another skeleton member.
For further information refer to the chapter 'Defining file-tailoring skeletons' in the 'ISPF Dialog Developer's Guide and Reference' manual.

No - it is imbedding another member.
)IM = IMbed
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
