Re: RDP 8.0.3 (Block comment)

Mark,

There are a few negatives with this approach.

1) You lose out on comment colorization.

2) Syntax checking will likely highlight those lines as errors, even though it will pass during compilation.

3) If the block of comments is large, you need to look to the beginning of the block to see that there is a compiler directive. Not comfortable when RPG commenting has always been on a line per line basis.

Hi, All:

To comment out a block of code, I just insert:

/if defined(BLOCK_COMMENT)
and
/endif

around the code. This works in both fixed format and /free form, and
works with all versions of ILE RPG IV since conditional compilation
support was added, and works equally well with WDSCi, RDi and RDp.

Cheers,

Mark S. Waterbury
