<p>The presence of a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appearing anywhere on a line indicates the
start of a comment that extends to the end of that line.
</p>
<p>If a &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; appears as the first character of a line then the whole
line is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
logical line number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a preprocessor
control command (see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<a name="index-VAX-line-separator"></a>
<p>The &lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo; character can be used to separate statements on the same
line.
