Comments

A comment can appear within a statement or on a line by itself. If a comment appears within a statement, it must be preceded by at least one blank. If it appears on a line by itself, it must have an asterisk in the first position (to prevent it from being treated as a label). In the following example, the sentence "End program execution" is a comment:

STOP      End program execution

"End program execution" is also a comment in this example:

*       End program execution
        STOP
