Getting error "ORA-00936: missing expression" in automation task. The query there works fine in the editor (4334474)

Getting error "ORA-00936: missing expression" in automation task. The query there works fine in the editor.
This happens when adding the Database Activity "Export to File"  with a query that includes commented code as for example

select 1,
2,
--decode (comm,'a',1,2)
3
from dual

WORKAROUND 1

Remove the commented code .In the example the code would be:

select 1,
2,
3
from dual

WORKAROUND 2

Use the older C style comments /* */ instead of the -- ones. In the example the code would be:

select 1,
2,
/*decode (comm,'a',1,2)*/
3
from dual
