Re: Commenting out blocks of code in FF

Or just put it in a non-executing IF/END-IF block:

if 0 = 1;

--skipped code

endif;

By hand.

A different method would have been to insert a different comment, like //*. Then, un-doing it would have been easier.

My preference is the compiler define, but a trick I used years ago was to put the block of code in a subroutine and condition the EXSR on an external indicator like NU1. Leave U1 off (i.e. normally) and all the code executes as always. CHGJOB SWS(10000000) then CALL mypgm, and the block of code doesn't run. You can flip it on the fly without re-compiling.
