COMMENT= comment-text

is a positional qualifier and must be the last operand in the command line.
You can specify a comment from 1 through 50 characters long. You do not have to
enclose a comment in quotes.
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 3.
You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, including the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
The records that make up a complete link definition are in a hierarchical
relationship. The link definition record is at the top of the hierarchy, followed, in
order, by a session definition record, and a unit definition record. In the hierarchy,
a link definition record may have many subordinate session definition records and
each session definition record may have many unit definition records.
You do not have to define the records that make up a complete link definition
record in any particular order. In addition, you can define records for future use.
The records are not checked for consistency until you start the link.
This command does not affect the current operational status of the link to which it
applies. All active links remain active, all stopped links remain stopped, and all
links that are pending active remain pending active.
You can include this command in the INIT NCL procedure to define unit
definition records at NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup.
For related information, see the LINK, PARAM FEATUREDISABLE, SESSION,
SHOW LINKS, and UNIT DELETE commands.
