I too hate to look at commented out code like your example shows.

If you have to comment out code (I guess because you don't trust your change mgmt system to report differences),
then it is preferred to move the commented code out of the flow as your eye scans the page.
I move commented code AT LEAST 7 characters to the right.

C Eval Something = Something

C*
C Endsr Subroutine
