The main problem to solve is still the same as the original posters' 
problem: The DASD label might contain the special characters or character
 
sequences.  DASD labels of @@@@@@, ¢¢¢¢¢¢, and /* */ are all 
valid and may 
trip up a syntax that allows comments on the same line as non-comment 
statements.  I'd strip out checking for the cent sign too and go only wit
h 
full line comments.  Perhaps a new DDR statement called COMMENT would be 

appropriate and obvious.
