Comments

A comment is any group of characters beginning with the sequence /* (slash asterisk) and ending with */ (asterisk slash). Each ARexx program must begin with a comment. Each /* must have a matching */ . For example:

/*This is an ARexx comment*/

Comments may be placed anywhere in a program and can even be nested within one another. For example:

/*A /*nested*/ comment*/

Insert comments throughout your program. Comments remind you and others of the program's intentions. Because the interpreter ignores comments when it scans your programs, comments do not slow down the execution of your program.
