Syntax:  ! comment text

Discussion: The exclamation mark (!) is the comment character. It may appear anywhere in a report specification. When the report is prepared, any text following the comment character is ignored.

History: Starting with Release 01.02, the comment character may appear anywhere on the line. Previously, the comment character was only recognized in the first position on the line.

Example: 100  ! This report prints customer numbers and names
