| <p><a name="index-line-comment-character_002c-NS32K-1825"></a><a name="index-NS32K-line-comment-character-1826"></a>The presence of a ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ appearing anywhere on a line indicates the |
| start of a comment that extends to the end of that line. |
| |
| <p>If a ‘<samp><span class="samp">#</span></samp>’ appears as the first character of a line then the whole |
| line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a |
| logical line number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor |
| control command (see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>). |
| |
| <p>If Sequent compatibility has been configured into the assembler then |
| the ‘<samp><span class="samp">|</span></samp>’ character appearing as the first character on a line will |
| also indicate the start of a line comment. |

| line. |
