Commenting out Stages in Datastage.

Hi all,
Do we have an option of commenting out stage in Datastage? like we have it in C /*comment*/ and different programming languages?
As of now Whenever I need to temporarily delete a stage, I cut the stage and copy it an empty job.
Want to know if there is a more elegant way to do this.
Thanks for all your help.

I am afraid there is no other way. If you want to keep checking your job and incrementally add stages, you can always let your output stream go to a copy stage. It can consume all the rows without complaining.

Yes you can. You can leave the stage on the canvas
without any links attached to it.

Not sure that works in parallel jobs, gateleys.

Anyways, it doesn't make sense to leave the stages without the links. Most information is lost anyhow.

A faster way is to highlight the stage and turn it into a shared container (Edit Menu - Construct Container - Shared Container) then delete the shared container stage from your job. The stage and stage links remain in the shared container folder but don't clutter up your job folder. If you need to put it back in you can either add the container or copy and paste the stage and links.
