Style

A normal comment uses the "old" style of coding.

/* here is the comment */

A typical comment including the name of the editor and the date would look like this:

/* Marko Rueterbories / Consultingwerk Ltd. 04.06.2017:
   Changed something here */

Restriction

As a matter of fact, as long as we are supporting older versions of OpenEdge prior to 11.6 it is not allowed to use double slashes "//" style comments in the SmartComponent Library. Doing this would break the build in all older versions of OpenEdge.

Support for the SmartComponet Library on OpenEdge 11.6 has been cancelled in Sping 2020. However, I would like to ban single line comments from the Consultingwerk package until Januar 2021 to be able to support customers on older releases for a grace period.

In customer projects, when agreed with the customer / responsible architect the use of the single line comments is o.k..
