    About Comments in DCL Files (DCL)

    A statement preceded by two forward slashes (//) is treated as a comment in a DCL file. Anything that appears between the // and the end of the line is ignored. DCL also allows C language style comments. These have the form /* comment text */. The starting /* and ending */ can be on separate lines.
