OK, this is a weird one. We have an old CLIST that runs as an ISPF edit macro. 
On one sysplex only, this CLIST fails with a *Rexx* error message:

IRX0006I Error running JEM, line 2: Unmatched "/*" or quote

The actual line being complained about is included here:

  PROC 0  DJSNAME(SPP.JOBSCAN)
/* COPYRIGHT DIVERSIFIED SOFTWARE SYSTEMS, INC., 1991,1993.
  CONTROL END(ENDO) NOMSG NOFLUSH
  ISREDIT MACRO (PARMSTR)

Of course there is no closing '*/' in line 2, but it's a CLIST, not a Rexx. The 
CLIST was last modified in 2007 according to ISPF stats. What appears to be 
exactly the same CLIST works fine on other sysplexes. The z/OS maintenance 
level (RSU1705) is the same on working and nonworking plexes. I have looked in 
SYSEXEC libraries and in other SYSPROC libraries for a bogus copy of this exec; 
nothing found. The CLIST library is VB; member is unnumbered, so data starts in 
column 9.

What might cause a CLIST to be misinterpreted as Rexx?
