Adding Comments To A Script File

You can add comments to a script file in three ways:
  • The script engine interprets as a comment any text typed after two forward slashes (/ /) until an end‑of‑line character is reached. If the script engine does not find an end‑of‑line character in the script after processing a comment, an error message is displayed, and the script operation is terminated. This error commonly occurs when a comment is placed at the end of a script and you have not pressed <Enter>. 
    // Deletes the existing configuration.
                                       clear storageArray Configuration;
  • The script engine interprets any text typed between / * and * / as a comment. If the script engine does not find both a beginning and ending comment notation, an error message is displayed, and the script operation is terminated. 
    /* Deletes the existing configuration */
                                       clear storageArray Configuration;
  • Use the show statement to embed comments in a script file that you want to display while the script file is running. Enclose the text you want to display in quotation marks (" "). 
    show "Deletes the existing configuration";
                                       clear storageArray Configuration;
