what 'DNL is?
Posted: 30 Jan 08 3:27 AM

Hello,
I'm new to SLX and VB Script also. When I first saw that 'DNL at the end of line, I treat it as just a sort of comment. Strange enough - can't find info on internet...
Today I see in one of the scripts this line:
' 6/26/2006 Updated LocalizeFmt and added 'DNL in various places.
so it seems this is not just a comment, what it is? 
thanks! |

It is an internal development code for Do Not Localize.

Mark is correct, though for quite a few years I thought DNL was just come cocky dev at Sage who wanted his/her additions to the code acknowledged

BTW, it is completely OK to remove those 'DNL comments. Sage uses an internal tool that will run through scripts and localize strings. This comment tells the tool to not localize the strings in that line. Once the code in in your hands you're fine to remove them (I did developer training for someone once who thought those had to remain intact and spent a lot of time keeping them and adding it to new lines - definitely don't need to do anything like that  )
