Is there a “quick” way to comment out a huge block of code?

I know you can do line by line –

- USER COMMENT  
\*\* USER COMMENT  
/\* USER COMMENT

Say you have 20 lines you want to comment out the entire block quickly.

Is it possible?

Well, if you are in SPOD, click on EDIT → Advanced → Add Comment Mark(s)

Best regards.

Sorry, it was rather my fault 🙂  
Well, this is about SPOD:  
Natural SPoD Architecture  
[techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/.../spod\_arc\_ove](http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/.../spod_arc_ove)… - United States  
This section describes the system architecture of Natural’s Single Point of Development (SPoD)

To be more precise, I was referring to the Editor’s features of Software AG Natural Studio

AFAIK there is no syntax for a multiline comment.

So, the Editor has to do the job. e.g. on Natural for windows:

1. mark block
2. Ctrl+m
