Hi Chris.

You may get two replies from me because I tried earlier and didn't see it.

I tend to use both the * and the /* */ type comments. For adding comments in a program, I tend to use the *. When I write macros, I like to use the /* */ comments because they can be used withing a SAS statement (see my example in the blog). Thanks for your comments. If you have other ideas about SAS programming styles, either leave a comment or email me directly.

Best,
Ron
