Example::

* %global x y z ;
%msu040r ;
... more code

The intention is clearly to comment out the %global statement and prevent SAS executing it, and then execute the %msu040r macro. But these comments are executable. The following happens in the above code::
 

*	SAS sees an executable comment statement
%global x y z ;	SAS sees an executable macro statement and the semi-colon is the end of the macro statement, not the comment
%msu040r ;	This is in the comment and the semi-colon ends the comment

 So the msu040r macro never executes and the job will not have the outputs of the macro available.

Please whereever possible practise safe SAS and use /* ... */ comments. Nothing within these is ever executable.
