The Comments property is a field
in the Field Properties window.
Basic
The Comment property
lets you associate a comment statement with a field element. The comment
length can be up to 69 characters. When the comment string is entered
into the Comments field it is associated to
the BMS field element and the source code is annotated with the comment
statement.
You can verify that the association is made by selecting
the field element and opening the properties dialog. You can change
the comments within the properties dialog and these changes are made
in the source code as well.
Usage
- The Comments field is not displayed if
the field is part of an array or a structure. The BMS Editor automatically
creates comments for each array or structure field. A user-defined
comment causes this array/structure feature to not work properly.
- Comments cannot span multiple lines in the source code.
- The Comments field has not been added to
the array/structure Properties dialog window.
- Any comments associated with BMS variable fields are carried forward
into the generated copybook.
