That are different chars and SAS doesn't "understand" // in the same
context as !! or ||.
// is used in PUT or INPUT statement and means "2 CRLF"
so
put "-------------" / "this is line 1" // "and this?" / "---------------";
shows:
----------------
this is line 1
and this?

The !! or || is a concatenation operator. You can fit two strings together
with that.
By the way: I prefer !! because there are less troubles with porting code
between different platforms.
