The comment field contains text that explains the function of the statement. You can use comments to describe algorithms, reasons for selecting particular methods, and parameters passed to routines. Comments do not affect assembly processing or program execution. The comment field must be preceded by a semicolon (;) and can contain any printable ASCII character. It is terminated by the end of the line. A comment can appear on a line by itself. If a comment does not fit on one line, it can be continued on the next, but the continuation must be preceded by another semicolon. In the following source statement example, "Table stores expected values" is the comment field. Note that the comment field begins with a semicolon. EXP: .BLKL 50 ; Table stores expected values
