Comments - language syntax


Comments within the JCL scripts are preceded by the asterisk-slash (/*) characters.

Comments may begin at any line column and apply to the remaining portion of the line. No termination marker exists for a comment. Comments may be interspersed with script statements and their parameters.

The comment marker (/*) is ignored in the following situations:

  • When embedded within textual data that is surrounded by quotes (for example, 'This /* is not a comment')
  • When embedded within JCL that is contained in a JCL GEN... ENDJCL block
