Hi Rocio,

It's more like a comment, see the following link:

If you use the statement as you posted, it will get an error since it will understando somethin like this:

// LOAD IDBudget,

    Année,

    Mois,

    Budget;

SQL SELECT IDBudget,

    Année,

    Mois,

    Budget

FROM "C:\Users\Rocio.ALIAGA\Desktop\DATA-FORMATION QLIKSENSE\BDD\Budget".Ventes;

Basically the "REM" is equal to the "//"

Rem ** This is a comment **;

/* This is also a comment */

// This is a comment as well

Actually the REM statement is NOT equal to //.

Because the REM statement is a FULL statement comment that can stretch over more than one line until a semicolon.

So it is really a cross between a // and a /* ......   */.

Can be very handy.

It comments out then entire LOAD statement. Not just the first line but all the lines until the end of the LOAD statement.

REM is short for remark which is similar to comment. It is common in various dialects of BASIC since the dawn of time.
