FORMULA LANGUAGE


REM
Example

The REM reserved word allows you to add explanatory remarks (comments) to a formula. Quotation marks or braces delimit the text of the remark.

Note Using braces to delimit a remark is new with Release 6.

Syntax

REM "comments" ;

REM {comments} ;

Usage

The backslash ( \ ) serves as an escape character in a remark. To embed quotation marks in a remark delimited by quotation marks, precede each embedded quotation mark with a backslash. To embed a right brace in a remark delimited by braces, precede each embedded right brace with a backslash. To embed a backslash in a remark, type two backslashes.

A compiled formula does not distinguish between quotation marks and braces. When you open a design element containing formulas, braces delimit all constants including those previously specified with quotation marks. A backward slash prefixes a right brace previously specified in a remark delimited by quotation marks.

If a comment doesn't fit on one line, add additional REM statements to complete the comment.
