Introducing the ABL Editor : Tasks : Writing ABL code : Using comments
 
Using comments
You can quickly "comment out" and uncomment blocks of your code. Commented blocks are ignored by the compiler and not treated as part of the program syntax.
To use this ABL Editor feature:
1. Select the lines that you want to comment or uncomment.
2. Right-click and select Source > Toggle Comment or type CTRL+/ .
If the selected block is not commented, the comment-delimiter characters (/* and */) are inserted at the beginning and end of the block. If the selected block is commented, the delimiter characters are removed from the beginning and end of the block. In both cases, the ABL Editor changes the text color to match the settings in the Editor Color preferences.
