Cumment Out Large Blocks

[NewsArchive]

Is there a way to easily comment out large blocks of code?

I want to test may app without having to install any files or code sign
them. Like Clarion's OMIT.

You have several options. For example: a compiler variable and an
#ifcompvar directive:

#set compiler variable [SKIPCOMPILE] = "1"
#ifcompvar [SKIPCOMPILE] Equals "1" Then
! Does not compile if [SKIPCOMPILE] is set to 1
! yada
#end

Then set [SKIPCOMPILE] = "0" and it compiles in. You can even control the
compiler variable via "SKU" or a "Release" to automate this process.

I'm missing something. Using:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#set compiler variable [SKIPCOMPILE] = "1"
#ifcompvar [SKIPCOMPILE] Equals "1" Then
! Does not compile if [SKIPCOMPILE] is set to 1
! yada
#end

Then set [SKIPCOMPILE] = "0" and it compiles in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since [SKIPCOMPILE] is not a pre-defined SB variable how does it know to
start skipping?

Thanks!

How about this line?<g>

#set compiler variable [SKIPCOMPILE] = "1"
