NOTE*
Place a single-line comment in a program file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
NOTE [<commentText>]
Arguments
<commentText> is a string of characters placed after the comment
indicator.
Description
NOTE is command synonym for the single-line comment indicator (*). All
characters after NOTE are ignored until the CA-Clipper compiler
encounters an end of line (carriage return/line feed). This means a
single-line comment cannot be continued with the semicolon (;) onto a
new line.
If you need a multi-line or inline comment, begin the comment block with
a slash-asterisk (/*) symbol and end the comment block with an
asterisk-slash (*/) symbol. If you need to comment out a block of code,
use the conditional compilation directives #ifdef...#endif instead of
multiline comments. This is important since nested comments are
illegal.
NOTE is a compatibility command and therefore not recommended. It is
superseded by the C-style comment symbols slash-asterisk (/*) and
asterisk-slash (*/), as well as the double-slash (//). It is also
superseded by the dBASE-style comment symbols, asterisk (*) and the
double-ampersand (&&).
For a complete discussion on comment indicators, refer to the "Basic
Concepts" chapter in the Programming and Utilities Guide.
Examples
. These examples show the various comment symbols supported by
CA-Clipper:
// This is a comment
/* This is a comment */
* This is a comment
&& This is a comment
NOTE This is a comment
