Here's an example of two ways. Paste the code into SAS Studio to see it, should have different colours.
Method 1:
*this is a single line comment;
Method 2:
/*This is my multi line comments
with a lot of different components*/
*Create summary statistics for a dataset by a 'grouping' variable and store it in a dataset;
*Generate sample fake data;
data have;
input ID feature1 feature2 feature3;
cards;

Another way to present data is as follows*/

by id;
var feature1-feature3;
ods output summary=want2;
run;
*Show for display;
proc print data=want2;

Can you provide some more context?
I am hoping to highlight some lines on my codes like how you can highlight texts while reading an electronic document.
If I understand correctly, I don’t think the IDE supports that type of functionality.
You can add comments which are blocked off though.
I see. It would be interesting to know how you can add a comment on your code as well.
