The version with the cent sign in the middle of the line does not work as
 
you are expecting.  A cent sign anywhere in the line discards the entire 

line, not just what is before it.  Here some output from one of several 

tests:


type comtest ddrcntrl a

SYSPRINT CONS
this is a comment ¢INPUT 191 DASD
OUTPUT 1002 DASD
COPY ALL

Ready; T=0.01/0.01 13:18:38
ddr comtest ddrcntrl a
HCPDDR708E INVALID INPUT OR OUTPUT DEFINITION
END OF JOB
Ready(00002); T=0.01/0.01 13:18:40


Whether the fault is with the documentation or with the code is up to you
.
