DML comments
Comment use and syntax
A DML instruction can contain comments. A comment serves only for documentation
in a program. When the Map Engine service handles the code at runtime,
it does not process comments.
A DML comment is any text that begins and ends with a combination of
the curly bracket and hash-sign character ({#). For example:
{#this is a comment#}
The following syntactic rules apply:
- You can place a
comment in your code anywhere that a white space character is allowed.
- Comments can occupy
more than one line.
- Comments cannot
be nested.

If you place a comment
inside a string-type constant, the Map Engine service handles the comment
as a normal string character. |
