 what can I do to use overlay function to comment out lines 397
to 399 without changing the remaining code?

Regards&Thanks,

If you are on a recent enough release, you can code it as follows:

0395.00  ************************************************
0396.00  *
.......  /IF DEFINED(XXX)
0397.00 C *IN44  WHENEQ    *ON
0398.00 C        Z-ADD     D2RRN         SFLRCD
0399.00 C        MOVEL(P)  'D3SC'        #SDFMT #SDFMT
.......  /ENDIF

In other words, the statements between the /IF and /ENDIF are
compiled only if name XXX is defined. This way, you don't have to
worry about star'ing out intervening statements, and you don't have
to worry about comments within that block.

Cheers!  Hans
