SA0164: Multiline commentsdl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Detects multiline comments that are coded as ‎(* comment *)‎. Only single-line comments that are coded as ‎// comment‎ are permitted.

Justification: Some programming guidelines prohibit multiline comments in code because the beginning and end of a comment could get lost and the closing comment bracket could be deleted by accident.

You can deactivate this check by means of the pragma ‎analysis‎, also for comments in the declaration part.

Importance: Low

PLCopen rule: C5

END_VAR

(* This is not a single line comment *)		 // SA0164
a := a + 1;
