Because it doesn't work without it??  :-)

This explanation from the MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference:

   "The system considers the first record that does not end in a
    comma to be the end of the member and ignores subsequent lines. 
    You can use the remainder of the record, which contains the last 
    parameter, for comments, providing there is at least one blank 
    between the last parameter and the comments. You can also use 
    additional lines after the last parameter for comments. Comments 
    can only be specified in IEASYSxx as described above."


Regards,

Mark
