That is due to a \015 character at the end of the file. I suspect this happened as a result of transferring the basic_system_.s.archive from the ACTC tape (MIT_1) to Multics.

If you remove the \015, the file compiles cleanly. I'll create an MCR to fix this.

[Eric Swenson]

It looks like there are two other segments (archives) that have \015 characters outside strings in PL/1 code. Both of these also fail to compile:

bound_cobol_rts_.s.archive::process_cobol_report.pl1

bound_g115_.s.archive::g115_protocol_.pl1

[Eric Swenson]

I've created MCR10028 for this issue: ​http://swenson.org/multics_wiki/downloads/doc/MCR10028.pdf
