Connect CDC (SQData) supports two (2) types of comments in a Apply Engine script, line comments and block comments.
Line comments require two (2) dashes (--) in front of the comment text on each line in which a comment is entered as shown in the following example.
-- THIS IS COMMENT LINE A
-- THIS IS COMMENT LINE B
Block comments can be used for several comment lines of text rather than entering a series of line commands. Block comments require delimited by a ‘/*’ before the comment block and a ‘*/’ at the end of the comment block as illustrated below.
/* This is a block comment
where the text is delimited by
the special characters that appear
before and after this text */Note: Block comments cannot be used in an "‘in-line"’ script on the z/OS platform. In-line scripts are those that are placed inside the JCL stream, rather than in a separate file.
