Comments
You can include comments for your own documentation within a report specification saved as a text file.
Commented text has the following format:
/* {any_text} */
where
any_text
Is any text, except the characters * and /, which close the comment.
Description
To create internal documentation for a report specification saved as a text file, you can include comments within the report specification by surrounding them with the /* and */ characters. Report-Writer ignores all text between these characters during report processing. If you save your report specification with the sreport command, Report-Writer ignores the comments and does not save them when storing your report specification in the database.
Comments can be nested; that is, you can have a set of comments within another set of comments. You can place comments anywhere within your file.
Examples
/* this is an example
of a comment...
*/
/* You can also have
/* nested comments */
in Report-Writer specifications */
