GDL Miscellaneous Macros

GDL uses a *IgnoreBlock directive to disable processing of the contents of the construct. This directive is useful when implementing divide and conquer debugging strategies or to comment out obsolete code. The contents of *IgnoreBlock must still conform to the basic syntax rules. Invalid GDL or large comment blocks can be enclosed within <Begin/EndValue:> delimiters and made the value of the *IgnoreBlock.

The following code example shows how to use *IgnoreBlock.

*IgnoreBlock: <BeginValue:garbage> The code in between does not even need to be valid GDL. }{ " % !!! 
This directive is great for large blocks of comments 
or when you do not want to mark each line with *%  <EndValue:garbage> {}
