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 wasto put the block of code in a subroutine and condition the EXSR on anexternal indicator like NU1. Leave U1 off (i.e. normally) and all thecode executes as always. CHGJOB SWS(10000000) then CALL mypgm, and theblock of code doesn't run. You can flip it on the fly withoutre-compiling.
