ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-59

R E M ( R E M a r k )

Batch File, Internal Command

The REM command has two purposes: to allow comments in a batch or
CONFIG.SYS file, and to temporarily disable a command without
physically deleting the command from the file. See also the (;) command.

Syntax

REM [message]

Remarks

The REM command provides information but has no affect on the
execution of the batch file.

The comment may consist of any set of characters. You may also create
a blank line by omitting the

message portion of the line.

REM can also be used to temporarily disable a command in a batch file or
CONFIG.SYS without having to delete the line from the file.

Example

s

REM This batch file created by

REM Jane Doe

These lines may be added at any point in a batch file as user information
only.

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS

DOS=HIGH

REM DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS /P

Temporarily removes the DEVICE=TESTDEV.SYS statement from these
CONFIG.SYS instructions. This statement is not processed again until
REM is removed.
