The parser would be looking at a name (file name or job name) and the /
would indicate a qualified name. Within the name portion of a qualified
name, it'd see the * as an indicator for special value.

Subject: RE: Parsing CL comments

I'm not an expert ( it's been a while since my formal languages course
:) but recursive decent parsing provides an answer to your OQ in the
following manner:

At the point that the parser is looking at /*ALL or /*PART1 the parser

wouldn't be looking for a comment.

Thanks, Charles. You see something that I don't. With what we know,
what would prevent the parser from looking for a comment there? I look
at this and say, Is a blank allowed here? Yes, so a comment may appear
here.
Right? What am I missing?
