Re: Comment/Uncomment out portions in the script

And if you want to do it manually, JMP uses C++ style comments.  Either surround the code to be commented out with /*   */, or start each line with //.

// Uncommented:
pi = 3.14159;
e  = 2.71828;

// Commented out using /* */
/*
pi = 3.14159;
e  = 2.71828;
*/

// Commented out a different way
// pi = 3.14159;
// e  = 2.71828;

Re: Comment/Uncomment out portions in the script

Is there a keyboard shortcut to comment/uncomment a block of code?

Review of the Menu Card for the Script Editor

There is not a keyboard short cut for commenting blocks of text
