Comments

Comments include additional information within a IBM® Connect:Direct® Process. Comments are allowed in the following formats:

• An asterisk (*) in column one, followed by the comment. You must use this format for statements processed by DMBATCH.
• Preceded by a slash-asterisk (/*) and followed by an asterisk-slash (*/). This format can be used after a continuation mark as well as at the beginning of a line.
• Preceded by a slash-asterisk (/*), continuing over multiple lines, and terminated by an asterisk-slash (*/). The terminating */ cannot begin in column one.

The following example shows every way that you can use comments.

/* This type of comment can be written on one line*/
/*
It can also continue across multiple lines.  Remember that
the terminating asterisk-slash cannot begin in column one.
