Comments are free text descriptions of rule definition parameters that are stored in a rule definition member. BMC recommends that comments be inserted within rule definitions for clarification and documentation. Comments are not processed during rule execution.
To insert a comment, position the cursor at the line before which the comment should be inserted and press CMNT (PF04/PF16). A comment line is opened beginning with the symbol /*. To insert additional lines, fill in the current line and press Enter.
Note: Comments can also be inserted by typing the CMNT command in the COMMAND field, moving the cursor to the line before which the comment should be inserted, and pressing Enter.
The Rule Definition screen illustrated in Figure 48 illustrates comment usage:
