Entering a comment out indication to an existing vector step

Last Updated : Sep 08, 2012 |

About this task

The vector editing function c capability inserts a pound (#) at the beginning of existing vector commands to comment out the vector steps. Once commented out, vector steps are skipped during normal vector processing.

Blank steps and comment out steps cannot be commented out. The comment out capability has no limitations other than the number of vector steps. That is, you can comment out 99 steps in all 8000 vectors or 198,000 steps.

To comment out an existing step:

Procedure

  1. After entering the change vector command, press Esc F6
  2. At the command line, type c followed by a space and the number of the step to comment out and press Enter.

    You can comment out a range of vector steps. For example, to comment out steps 2 through 5, type c 2-5 and press Enter.

Result

Note:

The comment out indication functions differently from the # command. See # command for details.
