Chapter 4-4: The ILF Editor

Using Comments

There are two special keywords that you can use to enter comments in a routine: either a single or double asterisk (* or **). Refer to ILF keywords * (Comment) or ** (Comment) for details on how to use them.

In addition, during the course of debugging a routine, you may want to temporarily disable one or more valid statement keywords to see how a routine would execute without the statement(s) included. You can use the editor to accomplish this by entering a “C” or an “*” (for comment) in the first character position of each statement line. This area is normally reserved for a true/false execution condition but a “C” or an “*” overrides this normal use. When you execute the routine, the lines are bypassed as if they were comments. After appropriate testing, use the editor to reinstate the original true/false execution condition value, if desired, or delete the statements if you want to remove them permanently.
