[EmData] Putting Comments

[Joe Mathia - Em Support]

Hi Jojo,

Should have included this in my original reply.

If you¹re just trying to exclude those fields w/out actually deleting them
from the prototype then the comment designator might be appropriate, like:

«-- Data3: «data3»
«-- Data4: «data4»
