Comment

Syntax

Comment             text
* text
(space) text
/*
text block
*/

Parameters

• text: Any text that will be ignored by the listing processor.

Description

Allows you to add non-executable comments and annotations to your listing file for documentation.

Remarks

There are four ways to add comments:

1. Using the Comment command (any text in column 21 or beyond is ignored).
2. Starting a line with an asterisk (*) — this is the best way to create comments.
3. Starting a line with a blank space.
4. Enclosing a block of one or more lines between /* and */.

Examples

Using an asterisk:

* For overall results of Vernon XX

Using a blank space (indented line):

  This will only list one page
From Page Number    ?

Using a multi-line block comment:

/****
Take this comment out if you want to prompt the user for first and last
page to be printed
From Page Number    ?
To Page Number      ?
