Which is why I'd always start with the compile listing. Let the compiler worry about all things, because the compiler does it exactly as the compiler does it. For you to get code to work exactly as the compiler does is 1) difficult and 2) silly, because of 1).
The compiler will "normalise" everything. No matter how coded, the compiler will produce what work it out and produce one single format, for PICture clauses, level-numbers, starting position of data-names, etc.
