Comments in the ASCII list file

Comments can be in an entire line or can be added at the end of a line.

With a comment spanning an entire line, the comment character "'#" must be placed at the start of the line and followed by a blank.

If a comment is to be inserted at the end of a line, only a blank is required before the comment. Blank lines are also possible.

Example

However, if a character string was assigned to the list parameter as a value in the line, any following comment must be opened by a bracket '('. The comment characters space, # and /* are not permitted.

If a '(' itself is part of the character string, the character string must be defined in inverted commas ″..″ (available as of V3.1.3081.0, V3.1.3108.0).
