COMMENT Command
COMMENT Command
The COMMENT command causes TACL to ignore the rest of the command line.
comment-text
is any descriptive text you wish to include.
Considerations
•
A space is required between COMMENT and comment-text.
•
In most cases, because they require less processing by TACL, it is preferable to
use the comment characters: braces ({ and }) and double equals (==). However,
where TACL statements are input from the IN file, such as in OBEY files, you
should use the COMMENT command because #INFORMAT must be set to TACL
or QUOTED for metacharacters to be recognized as such (but the COMMENT
command is always effective).
•
COMMENT is a command, interpreted by TACL, although it does not perform an
action and returns a null result.
For additional information about comments, see Comments on page 2-10.
