### COMMENT Directive (Program Information Block)

COMMENT lets you enter comments about your program without having to enter semicolons (;) for each line.

Syntax

    COMMENT   Delimiter   Text   Delimiter

Remarks

The first non-blank character after COMMENT is the first delimiter. The COMMENT directive causes the assembler to treat all Text between Delimiter and Delimiter as a comment. The text must not contain the delimiter character. This directive is used for multiple-line comments. A COMMENT defined in the body of a macro does not appear unless .LALL is requested.

Example

    COMMENT   * You   can   enter   as   many   lines
    of   text   between   the   delimiters
        .
        .
        .
    as   you   need   to   describe   your   program . *
