An overview of ABL : Understanding ABL Syntax : Comments
 

Comments

An ABL application can also contain non-executable comments wherever you can put white space (except in quoted strings). Each comment begins with “/*” and terminates with “*/”, and you can nest comments within other comments:
/*/* Simple Application */*/

MESSAGE /* Statement Keyword */ "Hello, World!" /* String */
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX /* Options */ . /*/* Period Terminates */
-^--------^- Statement */
