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.
