Could be a code page issue. USS users guide says
The LC_SYNTAX environment variable
The POSIX portable character set has 13 characters whose encoding might
vary on different EBCDIC code
pages:
Right brace (}) Left brace ({) Backslash (\) Right bracket (]) Left bracket
([) Circumflex (^) Tilde (~) Exclamation point (!) Number sign (#)
Vertical bar (|) Dollar sign ($) *Commercial at-sign (@)* Accent grave (`)
ls -T ccc.c will show you the code page.
IBMUSER:/u/ibmuser: >ls -T ccc.c
- untagged T=off ccc.c
I compiled a line line C program with // @
and it did not have any problems.
