Inserting comments to formulas and documenting reports

Hi

Is there any way to insert a comment into a formula/variable?
Some of my formulas are either long or complex and i’d like a way to put explanations inside the formula so when i return to it in a few months i’d remember the logic.

Another question connected to the previous one: I have some reports that contain many tabs/queries/linking/varaibles is there some sound methodology (preferably automatic or semi automatic) to document the report logic in a way that any person who is a BOB report builder can find his way in the report / make changes to it?

Thanks
Rafael

First part, if its universe object then there is a description box and for report level variables you can document each expression in a separate report tab

Second part, there is a utility List objects in a report in BOB downloads
Check similar utilities in downloads section for more details or enhance existing code
