APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • PL1comment normally is enclosed by /* and */ (e.g. /* comment
text */).
If the first character of the comment text is a slash
(e.g.,/*/comment text*/), the Application Discovery parser
considers the comment closed immediately, leaving the rest of
the comment to be interpreted as code, causing syntax error.
