Internal macro comment statements

You can also write internal macro comments in the body of a macro definition to describe the operations done during conditional assembly when the macro is processed.

An internal macro comment statement consists of a period in the begin column, followed by an asterisk, followed by any character string. No values are substituted for any variable symbols that are specified in internal macro comment statements.

Internal macro comment statements can appear anywhere in a macro definition.

Notes:

Internal macro comments are not generated.
The comment character string can contain double-byte data.
Internal macro comment statements can be used in open code, however, they are processed as ordinary comment statements.
