# Slash Star (Comment) (DMX)
[!INCLUDE[ssas-appliesto-sqlas](../includes/ssas-appliesto-sqlas.md)]

  Indicates a text string that [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] should not execute. The server does not evaluate the text between the comment characters /* and \*/. You can nest comments within a Data Mining Extensions (DMX) statement, include them at the end of a line of code, or insert them on a separate line.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
/* Comment_Text */  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *Comment_Text*  
 The string that contains the text of the comment.  
  
## Remarks  
 Multiple-line comments must be indicated by /* and \*/.  
  
 There is no maximum length for comments.  
  
 For more information about how to use different kinds of comments in DMX, see [Comments (DMX)](../dmx/comments-dmx.md).
