comment out code in QA

  • Hi,

    (this one should go in the "trivial" section, but there wan't one 🙂 )

    Is there any way to autmatically "comment out" selected text in QA. If I have a long query I have to manually locate top & bottom and put in the 

    /* */  tags.

    cheers,

  • What I sometime do....

    IF 1=2 -- only line added to make next statement NOT execute

        SELECT ......

     

    IF condition statement [ELSE statement]

    works only for 1 statement and does not require an "END"

    as opposed to "conventional structured" ...

    IF condition BEGIN {1 or more statements} END [ELSE BEGIN {1 or more statements} END]

     

    Hope that helps



    Once you understand the BITs, all the pieces come together

  • Select the code that you want to comment, then Ctrl + Shift + C comments all the text. To uncomment, select the text and Ctrl + Shift + R.

  • nice one.
