NCL Statement Types and Syntax › Comments in NCL Procedures

Comments in NCL Procedures

NCL allows the inclusion of comments within procedures to assist in understanding the code. In addition to providing internal documentation of the processing being performed by the procedure, comments can also provide a simple means of directing messages to the operator when operating in OCS mode.

Comments fall into four categories:

• Comments on NCL statements
• Displayable stand-alone comment lines
• Highlighted key words in comment lines
• Non-displayable stand-alone comment lines
