Usage Note 36552: Comments in R code run within SAS/IML Studio produce ERROR: unexpected '/' in "/"
R software uses different notation than SAS for comments. Instead of using the /* and */ notation to enclose comment text, R begins each line of comment text with # . Specifying /* within your R code causes the following error message:
ERROR: unexpected '/' in "/"
To prevent the problem, remove /* and */ character combinations and begin each comment line with the # character.
