I've tried the SQL multi-line comment format and that seems to work:
{ Comment here! }

As I'm auto-generating a set of dbload command files, I would like to
put comments into them to help out the ops boys if anything goes wrong
(date and time of generation, etc). I've tried all the 'this is a
comment, ignore the rest of the line' syntax I can think of; --, #,
but informix tries to process it and falls over with an error.
Anyone know the syntax for this, assuming there is one?
