#<;//comments//

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#<;** | Initiates an aligned target language comment. |
| //comments// | Any text. This must start with the target language comment initiator. |

**#<;** initiates a target language comment which is included in the generated source code. The comment is generated at the column position specified by the #COMMENT statement. If the column position is occupied, the comment is appended one space to the right of the generated source code statement. Any standard target language syntax comments without a preceding #<; are included in the generated code at whatever column position they occupy in the template.

**Example:**

**#COMMENT(50)**

**#!   This Template file comment will not be in the generated code**

**#<;!  This is a Clarion comment which appears in the generated code in column 50**

** !   This Clarion comment appears in the generated code in column 2**

**#<;// This is a C++ comment which appears in the generated code beginning in column 50**

** //  This C++ comment appears in the generated code in column 2**
