I just used a Special character to denote the start of a comment.

The Guide would benefit from greater use of comments and remarks in its Examples, both to: o make the operation clearer to the reader, and to make the programmer familiar with use of comments. With limit of 80 bytes it is difficult to have detailed comments as a part of SYSIN control cards. The application programming guide explains in detail about the control cards below.
