create procedure error

The following statement could be processed sucessfully:

create or replace
procedure
/* comment */

myproc
as
begin
null;
end;

However, if I put the comment before the procedure, I got error

create or replace
/* comment */

procedure
myproc
as
begin
null;
end;

I don't know why? Received on Thu Jun 10 1999 - 01:30:21 CDT
