Program Comments

You can include comments anywhere in your SCL programs. Comments provide information to the programmer, but they are ignored by the compiler, and they produce no executable code.

SCL allows the following two forms of comments:

/* comment */

   /* sort the data set and */
   /* then do something else */
sysrc=sort(dsid,'year month');

* comment ;

  * sort the data set and  ;
  * then do something else ;
sysrc=sort(dsid,'year month');
