You CAN do comments on the right in all specifications - the last 20
characters - you just can't do the // comments there.
You CAN do // comments on any line anywhere in the source - there's a
weirdness there, however - in every place other than a free-form block,
the // can be anywhere, including positions 6 & 7. In a free block, they
must not be in those positions, they have to be in 7 & 8 or higher. This
is an irritation to me, especially as the converter to free in WDSC
doesn't always handle this correctly.
In free blocks, a comment with // starting in position 6 does not raise
an error in SEU - and probably not WDCS, either. But it fails to compile
- sorry - this is just foolish!

But . . . .
What I really, really would have liked is in the D-spec to allow
comments on the right . . .
to allow a D-spec keyword TEXT('Description') -or- allow us to put to
the right-hand side // Description
rather than wasting another line of source, and then confusing
maintenance pgmrs with
"Does the comment line go to the line above or the line below?"
