MvCOMMENT

Used to annotate your program and inserts comments or code ignored by the compiler. They are also useful when you are developing and debugging your program.

<MvCOMMENT> 

</MvCOMMENT>

Miva Script comments inside your script explain code for readability. Comments always end with a closing tag, can span single or multiple lines, and are ignored by the compiler.

Isolating Problematic Code#

Wrap a block of code in comments to isolate it during debugging:

<MvFUNCTION NAME="Divide" PARAMETERS="var1,var2" STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL="">
    <MvCOMMENT>
        There is a problem in here somewhere
        <MvFUNCTIONRETURN VALUE="{ l.var1 / 0 }">
    </MvCOMMENT>    
</MvFUNCTION>

HTML Comments#

You can also use ordinary HTML comments (<!-- ... -->), which are passed to the browser but not displayed. MivaScript inside HTML comments is still processed, allowing embedded test scripts to appear in the source without showing on the page:

<!-- Order_Date = <MvEVAL EXPR="{ g.order_date }"> -->

Examples#

<MvCOMMENT>The code below will output the year.</MvCOMMENT>
<MvEVAL EXPR="{ s.tm_year }">

<MvFUNCTION NAME="Sum" PARAMETERS="var1,var2" STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL="">
    <MvCOMMENT>
        This function adds two numbers
        Rounded to the nearest whole number
    </MvCOMMENT>
    <MvFUNCTIONRETURN VALUE="{ (l.var1 + l.var2) ROUND 0 }">
</MvFUNCTION>
