### 16.4 COMMENT

    Comment commands:
        COMMENT comment text … .
        *comment text … .

    Comments within a line of syntax:
        FREQUENCIES /VARIABLES=v0 v1 v2.  /* All our categorical variables.

`COMMENT` is ignored. It is used to provide information to the author and other readers of the PSPP syntax file.

`COMMENT` can extend over any number of lines. It ends at a dot at the end of a line or a blank line. The comment may contain any characters.

PSPP also supports comments within a line of syntax, introduced with ‘`/*`’. These comments end at the first ‘`*/`’ or at the end of the line, whichever comes first. A line that contains just this kind of comment is considered blank and ends the current command.
