Comments
A comment-entry or a comment line can contain any combination of characters in the
computer’s character set. Both types of comments are character-strings that serve only
to document a program. A comment-entry follows a paragraph header in the
Identification Division and can continue on additional lines. A comment line is any line
anywhere in the source text that has a comment character in the indicator field.
