Young enough to get through to kids, old enough to bring 10+ yr exp.
Comment line is used in COBOL by entering an asterisk * in column 7. It *must* be in column 7. Column 7 is just fancy talk for the 7th space from the left of the screen. After you insert an asterisk *, everything that follows after it on that line will be commented out and not compiled. Hope this helps :)
