Inserts a non-functional comment as a recipe step. Commented steps are ignored during job execution.
Multi-line comments are not supported.
Basic Usage
Depending on how the comment is inserted, the format of the step may vary.
Manually inserted comments:
In the Search panel, enter the following text in the Transformation textbox:
comment
Then, specify a value in the comment textbox.
Pasted comments:
Text values of the following formats can be pasted into the Transformation textbox. These steps are converted to comment transforms:
// This is a comment.
/* This is also a comment. */
Output: Output is unaffected by the comment. Comments are highlighted in a different color in the recipe panel.
Exported comments:
When comments are exported in scripts from the Recipe panel, they are in the following format:
