If a macro invocation is followed by a PL1 style comment and the comment contains macro statements, the macro statements might execute.

For example, in the code below, the macro iShouldNotRun is incorrectly executed within the comment:

To circumvent this problem, do one of the following:
 

• Insert a space after the beginning comment and before the macro statement contained within the comment. For example:
  %outer()/* %iShouldNotRun() and I do not */
• Insert a space after the macro invocation and before the beginning of the PL1 style comment. For example:
  %outer() /*%iShouldNotRun() and I do not */
