COMMENT Commands
The COMMENT command provides the means to enter description text into the command
stream. It allows the use of text to document what is happening in the job stream without
having any affect on the operation of the utility. COMMENT may be used whenever the
command prompt (>) is present.
The command is a very simple one. It consists of the command word COMMENT followed
by zero or more characters. The system ignores all characters on the line and simply writes
them to the log file for documentation. The system then prompts for the next command.
Note that this command does not need to end in a period and so must be contained on a
single line. Multi-line comments can be used by prefacing each line with the COMMENT
command.
