Re: Block Commenting in LPEX

However please don't let something like this go into production.

I don't even want to imagine life as a programmer where code that's not explicitly commented out may be implicitly (if that's the right word) commented out due to a compiler directive was resulting in code not being included in a program. To think every time you were making changes you'd have to look for compiler directives first. Ugh.

For testing purposes, I do understand doing something like this.
Although honestly I tend to do a less savory thing: delete. Save. Compile. Undo. Save.

Yes, it will, below is an example of a compile listing using the
DEFINED(SKIP). This isn't what it was designed for but it works to comment
out a bunch of lines of code.

865 C EOM IFEQ 'Y'
866 C/if defined(skip)
LINES EXCLUDED: 10
867 C/endif
868 C ARSTOR IFEQ *BLANK
869 C MOVE *BLANKS F1SEQ

And the compiler will ignore it no matter what is in there?

You can comment blocks of code in RPGIV you just need to add a /IF
DEFINED(SKIP) to the first line then at the end of the block add a /ENDIF
you will skip all the code between the /IF and /ENDIF

I know that you can't do block commenting in RPGIV (at least that I'm
aware of), so is there something in LPEX that will help me comment out
large blocks of code quickly without having to put a asterick on each
line?
