COMMENT Command 

The COMMENT command provides the means to enter description text into the
command stream.  It allows the use of text to document what is happening
in the job stream without having any affect on the operation of the
utility.  COMMENT may be used whenever the command prompt (>) is present.

The command is a very simple one.  It consists of the command word
COMMENT followed by zero or more characters.  The program ignores all
characters on the line and simply writes them to the log file for
documentation.  The program then prompts for the next command.  Note that
this command does not need to end in a period and so must be contained on
a single line.  Multi-line comments can be used by prefacing each line
with the COMMENT command.
