Seeing as "C" code cannot have sequence numbers in 73-80 you can't use
UPDATE to maintain it.
Back when I worked for VM Software/Systems Center/Sterling Software (whew!? I'll never write that again!), we had a lot of CMS application code written in C.? We had our own toolset to maintain it, but at the bottom of it all was XEDIT in UPDATE mode and EXECUPDT.? I forget which VM/SP level introduced?EXECUPDT, but it used UPDATE* in the classic VMFASM manner to create a variable format output file without sequencing (and other optional changes that made no sense for C code).
The net of it was that we could edit C code exactly like in any other editor, the editor created UPDATE files, we could apply them and produce a source file exactly like the compiler expected, and all of our UPDATE-oriented code management tools just worked.

* When IBM introduced EXECUPDT, it also modified UPDATE to support files wider than 80 columns.
