comments field code for ea or script

Can someone please help with code to be placed in an existing script, that would place a few words in the "comment" field of the terminal, upon execution
the script places pending orders hence the inability to place comments manually.
In any case i would rather have them auto, as i could always change the comment in the editor as required
thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do, so I am guessing. OrderSend() has a comments field that will accept a string value. If the string is declared as extern, it can be changed at script run time.

Inserted Code
  extern string OrderComment;
  int ticket1 =OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lots, NormalizeDouble(Ask, Digits), slip,  0, 0, OrderComment ,MagicNumber, 0, Green);

The code I provided was a suggestion of how I have done things. It needs to be converted to work in your code.
