&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the # character is used as a comment character in the Batch Processing utility (in a BPRC file) as opposed to its use in the key-in browser. We have filed an enhancement to add this functionality to BP. Here&amp;#39;s how it would work. the # character at the beginning of a BPRC line would act as a comment and further in the line it would act as it does in the key-in browser. I would estimate April to June of next year for availability.&lt;/p&gt;
