The ASN.1 comment marker '--' works in a similar manner to the C-style /* */ comments (as well as C++-style // comments). I.e. double-dash denotes the start of a comment, and a second double-dash (or the end of the line) denotes the end of the comment. So myObject -- this is a comment -- OBJECT IDENTIFIER is perfectly valid syntax. This means that a line of dashes will work correctly, as long as there are an even number (or 4n-1) of dashes in the line. But if you have 4n+1 dashes, then the first 4n will be interpreted as n (empty) comments, and the final dash will be parsed as active syntax, and throw an error. So you *can* use lines of dashes to separate different sections of the MIB, and you've fot a 75% chance of getting away with it! But I would agree with Mike's advice: > i.e., don't do "----------------------". If you want to have horizontal rules in your MIB, try something like - - = = = = = = = = = = (without the spaces!)
