Including Comments

You can include comments in a TSO/E command anywhere a blank might appear. Comments are most useful in CLISTs that contain TSO/E commands. To include a comment, put it within delimiters /* and */. To continue a comment, use a line continuation character (+ or -) at the end of the line.

Example
A short comment at the end of a line might look like the following: `LISTDS (num1.data,num2.data) /* my data sets /` A longer comment might need to be split as follows: `LISTDS (num1.data,num2.data) / this is a list of my - active data sets */`

You do not need to end a comment with */ if the comment is the last thing on the line. Ending a comment with */ is a convention, not a requirement in this case.

Note: To continue a line that contains a comment, use a continuation character after the comment:

ALLOCATE DATASET(outds.text) /* data set name */ +
         NEW VOLUME(tsomar2)
