The blocks in a program can be explained by means of remarks. A remark permits instructions
for the operator to be displayed on the screen.
With remarks, the following must be noted:
• The remark must be enclosed in round brackets.
• A space (blank) must be provided between the opening bracket and the start of the remark
as well as between the end of the remark and the closing bracket.
• No percentage characters "%", end-of-block characters "
are permitted within the remark.
• The remark must not be located between the address and a digit or between a word and
the associated parameter.
• The remark can be up to 120 characters long. A maximum of 41 characters are shown on
the screen in the comments line.
• It is advisable to write the remark at the end of the block or in a separate line.
