Thats MVS (OS/390) specific and cannot be the reason. That's also not so in
MVS online. By the way: that is a JCL problem if you use instream data.
//SYSIN DD *
/*** SAS comment will end program ***/
data test; x=1; /* this is ignored */
because /* means "end of instream data".
You can avoid that behaviour with:
//SYSIN DD*,DLM=$$
/* this will not end the program */
data test; x=1;
$$ only this will!
I think it would be a good idea to write the log to a file with altlog or
proc printto. That can lead to the data-problem, which seems to be the
reason.
