Commenting Out Rule Statements

Existing DO statements in a Control-O rule definition can be commented out through the /> command. This command can be useful for testing how a rule functions without certain statements, or for temporarily disabling certain functions normally performed by the rule.

To comment out a statement, type /> over the first two characters in the DO field, and press Enter. The characters /> are displayed before all lines that have been commented out.

Example

The following statement is used in the examples below:

DO COMMAND  = D T

  WAIT        CONSOLEID    CONSOLE          SYSTEM

  WAITMODE   N

Type the /> command.

DO />MMAND  = D T

  WAIT        CONSOLEID    CONSOLE          SYSTEM

  WAITMODE   N

Press Enter.

/> COMMAND  = D T

/> WAIT        CONSOLEID    CONSOLE          SYSTEM

/> WAITMODE   N

Note that all lines of the specified DO COMMAND statement are commented out.

Removing the Comment Indicators

To remove the comment indicator from a statement that has been commented out, type /> over the first two characters in the statement name and press Enter. For example:

/> />MMAND  = D T

/> WAIT        CONSOLEID    CONSOLE          SYSTEM

/> WAITMODE   N
