are passed through unchanged. The original line endings
(CRLF or LF) of the source are preserved

plcContent LONGCHAR
The original source code
Returns LONGCHAR
The reformatted source code

LOGICAL IsUsingLine (character)

The line to inspect
Returns LOGICAL
TRUE when the line (after trimming leading whitespace) starts with "using "
