    Inserting inline comments to denote the end of the IF ... ENDIF, DO, and FOR ... ENDFOR structured programming commands greatly improves the readability of programs.

Remarks

Place a semicolon (;) at the end of each comment line that continues to a following line.

Note   In earlier versions of Visual FoxPro, you cannot place && and a comment after the semicolon that is used to continue a command line to an additional line.

Example

NOTE  Initialize the page number;
   variable.
STORE 1 to gnPageNum
* Set up the loop
DO WHILE gnPageNum <= 25  && loop 25 times
   gnPageNum = gnPageNum + 1
ENDDO  && DO WHILE gnPageNum <= 25
