At least, I've used {} above the SCREEN statement and within ATTRIBUTES and INSTRUCTIONS sections with no problems. These comments are stripped out of the compiled .frm object, however, whereas Jack's solution would leave them in (which is good or bad, depending on what you're using sccs comments for). > ... > _____________________________________________________________________________ > Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, DMD/IS Boise, Idaho, USA > jparker@nexus.boi.hp.com <-- new address > _____________________________________________________________________________ > > If anything can go wrong, fix it.
