Comment Statement

You may include comment statements by placing an asterisk (*) in position 1. Text for a comment may appear anywhere between positions 2 and 71 inclusive. As of CA 1 r5.2 Service Pack 4, comments may also appear anywhere in the statement when enclosed in '/*....*/'. Both old and new style comments may appear after the RDS control parameters. At least one blank must separate the parameter from the comments.

Example 1: DSN=W-,LABEL=EXPDT='CATALOG' OLD STYLE COMMENTS
Example 2: DSN=W-,LABEL=EXPDT='CATALOG' /*NEW STYLE COMMENTS*/
Example 3: * ENTIRE STATEMENT WITH OLD STYLE COMMENTS
Example 4: /*ENTIRE STATEMENT WITH NEW STYLE COMMENTS*/
