COMMENT 

The COMMENT command enables you to insert a comment into a job stream or
a user command.

Syntax 

COMMENT [text]

Parameters 

text                  Consists of the comment text that includes an
                      explanation about the purpose of commands or the
                      logic used in creating the job.  You can also use
                      text to create job headings.  The text can consist
                      of any ASCII characters.

                      The default is that a record containing only the
                      string "COMMENT" is inserted in the command stream.

Operation Notes 

   *   Usage 

       You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
       break mode.  Pressing Break does not affect this command.

   *   Adding comment lines 

       To continue comment text onto the next line, use an ampersand (&)
       as the last nonblank character of the line.  Add the ampersand for
       each line of text that you want to continue.

Example 

   *   To include the comment THIS IS A SAMPLE JOB in the job named JOB1,
       insert the following in your text file:

            !JOB JOB1,USER.FINANCE
            !COMMENT -- THIS IS A SAMPLE JOB
            !FORTGO MYPROG
