# Directives

REM | Remark

## Formats

REM comments ...

or

! comments

Where:

! | PxPlus accepts the ! (exclamation point) as a substitute for REM.
comments | Remarks. Programmer's comments or documentation.

## Description

Use the REM directive to insert program remarks and comments (e.g. documentation and notes) in a program. The REM statement has no effect on the execution of the program. PxPlus treats all characters in a statement following the REM directive as comments. The REM directive is the last one processed in any statement.

Since PxPlus embeds the comment text following the REM directive in the compiled form of the program, remarks occupy memory space when the program is loaded and run.
