4.8.2 Skip blocks
It is possible to skip program blocks, which are not to be executed every time the program
runs.
The skip blocks are identified by placing a "/" (forward slash) or "/x (x = number of skip level)
character in front of the block number. Several consecutive blocks can also be skipped.
The statements in the skipped blocks are not executed, i.e. the program continues with the
next block, which is not skipped.
The number of skip levels that can be used depends on a machine datum.
