In addition to SQL comments (--), ILE RPG comments can be included within SQL statements wherever SQL allows a blank character.
To embed an ILE RPG comment within the SQL statement, place an asterisk (*) in position 7.
Bracketed comments (/*...*/) are allowed within embedded SQL statements between positions 8 through 80 and whenever a blank is allowed, except between the keywords EXEC and SQL. Comments can span any number of lines. Single-line comments (//) can also be used.
