Entering Comments

Comments are free text descriptions of rule definition parameters that are stored in a rule definition. It is recommended that comments be inserted within rule definitions for clarification and documentation purposes. Comment lines begin with the symbols /* , and are not processed during rule execution.

Use one of the following methods to insert comment lines:

Decide where you want the comment to be inserted. Position the cursor on the preceding line, and press CMNT (PF04/PF16) to open the comment line. If you need more than one line, press Enter at the end of each line.
Type CMNT in the COMMAND field and move the cursor to the line before which the comment is to be inserted. Press Enter.
To insert comments between DO statements an additional method is available. Type /* in an empty DO statement and press Enter.

Comment usage is illustrated in the following Rule Definition screen:
