As you have seen, the syntax rules for LPALST and comments do not follow other comment functions. This is probably due to where it is loaded and the process has a very strict syntax for the process.
So depending on where you put your /* you could have lost many datasets that were to be loaded by LPALSTxx. >From the Manual Syntax rules for LPALSTxx z/OS V1R12.0 MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference SA22-7592-21 The following rules apply to the creation of LPALSTxx: Comments: On a line, data entered after the last data set name and the optional comma continuation character is treated as a comment and ignored. A /* is not a recognized comment line in the LPALSTxx member. But you could do NAME1, NAME2, NAME3 this ends the list, anything that follows is a comment. Comments follow here. My two cents worth - IBM could clarify the comment process in LPALSTxx a bit better as well as provide a nice sample of how to place comments in LPALSTxx.
