I don’t think the slash is one of the ASA control characters

They are still used. In zOS you can specify RECFM=VBA for ‘variable, blocked with ASA control), and that is more or less the default for listings (and also the reason the LRECL is 133 instead of 132).

Maybe that code in particular was written for a specific printing terminal with non-standard controls.
