Displayable Stand-alone Comment Lines

Comment lines can be included in procedures by inserting an asterisk (*) as the first non-blank character in the statement, unless the statement contains a label, in which case the asterisk must be the first non-blank character following the end of the label. Comment lines are displayed at an OCS window exactly as entered (both upper and lower case) after variable substitution has been performed. The leading asterisk is not displayed. This facility provides a simple means of building online operator instructions or Help facilities.
