But you can indent to avoid the EOD hassles. I once ported an EXEC with " /* REXX */" so indented to z/OS UNIX (USS). Apparently USS is intolerant of the indention. PMR resulted in a convoluted explanation of the logic, but no resolution. Apparently the rule is that a sufficiently detailed explanation of the misbehavior should be interpreted as WAD.
