<h1 class="topictitle1">Command comments</h1>
<div><p>You can enter comments within CL programs to describe the expected
behavior of the code.</p>
<p>Comments can be inserted either inside or outside a command's character
string wherever a blank is permitted. However, because a continuation character
must be the last non-blank character of a line (or record), comments <em>may
not</em> follow a continuation character on the same line.</p>
<p>For readability, it is recommended that each comment be specified on a
separate line preceding or following the command it describes, as shown here:</p>
<pre>MOVOBJ OBJA TOLIB(LIBY)
/* Object OBJA is moved to library LIBY. */
DLTLIB LIBX
/* Library LIBX is deleted. */</pre>
<p>Comments can include any of the 256 EBCDIC characters. However, the character
combination */ should not appear within a comment because these characters
end the comment. To begin a comment, the characters /* must be placed in the
first position of the command, be preceded by a blank, or be followed by either
a blank or an asterisk.</p>
