HP SYSTEM DICTIONARY XL SDMAIN

COMMENT 

Allows the addition of descriptions and/or instructions into the command
stream for documentation purposes.

Syntax 

     COM[MENT] [text] [.]

You can specify zero or more characters after the COMMENT command.  The
comment must be contained on one line.  If the comment needs to span more
than one line, you must begin each line with the word COMMENT. A period
following the command is optional.

The system ignores all lines preceded by COMMENT and simply writes them
to the log file before prompting for the next line.  The only time that
comments are not written to the log file is during processing of a
START/SAVE reporting command pair.  Thus, once you issue the START
command, no comments are logged until after you issue the SAVE command.

Open Mode:       Any

Scope:           Any

Example 

The following example adds three lines of comments to the command stream
and log file.

     >COMMENT     The following commands define all elements that 
     >COMMENT     exist in the SALES-REP data set and adds them 
     >COMMENT     to that data set.
