Adding Comments to Query

Since I compose my query in Query Analyzer and
paste it into RS, I am trying to add comments to the top of my query
to preserve my QA parameters as follows:
/*Testing parameters
declare @.FromPostDate varchar(10), @.AgingDate varchar(10)
Set @.FromPostDate='1/1/2005'
Set @.AgingDate= '11/1/2005'
End Testing Parameters */
But when I paste the query into the RS editor and hit 'Refresh Fields'
I get an error saying 'Must declare the variable @.AgingDate'
If I delete the comment block, it assigns the 2 dates as report parameters
as I would expect. I have tried using '--' instead of /**/ and placing the
dates
on separate lines but it just ignores the comment markers.
Am I missing something?
ThanksIt seems I had a problem like this.. Perhaps try placing any executable
statement prior to the first comment...
