{
{   The purpose of this request is to append a status parameter to the text of
{ a  status  record.   This  request  assumes  that the status record has been
{ initialized by a call to osp$set_status_abnormal.
{
{       OSP$APPEND_STATUS_PARAMETER (DELIMITER, TEXT, STATUS)
{
{ DELIMITER: (input) This parameter specifies the character that will  precede
{       the  text  supplied  by  this  request in the text field of the status
{       being formed.  Depending on its value, this character may cause one of
{       two  effects  when  the  status  is formatted into a message.  If this
{       character is the same as the first character in the text  field,  then
{       the  new  text  will  be  treated as a separate status parameter.  If,
{       however, this character is different from the first character  in  the
{       text  field,  then  this character and the new text will be treated as
{       part of the preceding  status  parameter  (this  feature  permits  the
{       creation of a single status parameter from separate pieces of data).
{
{ TEXT:  (input) This parameter specifies the status parameter text.  Trailing
{       spaces in this text are not included in the status record.
{
{ STATUS: (input, output) This parameter specifies the status record to  which
{       the text is to be appended.
