MFCOMMENT

Treats lines with an asterisk (*) in column 1 the same as comment lines but does not show them in the source listing.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.--MFCOMMENT-----------------><
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None

Properties:

Default: MFCOMMENT (Dialect)
Phase: Syntax check
$SET: Any

Dependencies:

Set to NOMFCOMMENT at end by SOURCEFORMAT"FREE".

Comments:

With MFCOMMENT, lines with an asterisk in column 1 are ignored by the Compiler and do not appear in the source listing (though they do appear in the debugger ). With NOMFCOMMENT, the asterisk forms part of the sequence number and has no special significance.
