How do I "remark out" an expression?

[Dennis Phillips]

I want to temporarily ignore an expression. What can I put in front
of an expression or maybe the last part of an expression so that it is
ignored but remains there for later use?

You can use an IF statement in the same expression with say.. a Switch like this:

IF(DebugSwitch,your_expression,default_value)

"default_value" can be, depending on where the Expression is used, a 0 or a 1 or an empty string, etc.

So, only when the "debug switch" is On your expression will be evaluated. You can choose not display the Switch if you fear someone would flip it unknowingly.

Hope this gives you some ideas...

When I do this I simply enclose the entire expression in quotations. Then the expression evaluates as text. If you have the result of the expression displayed on a panel as numeric the display will evaluate to zero. If the expression is used in any numeric or logical connections it will evaluate to zero.

But, I assume, if you are remarking it out it's result must not be used in any important functions.
