//================================================================

I am using the 'out of box'  bjam and have not made any changes.

For the bjam version I have:
#bjam -v
Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.17. OS=AIX.

 For function init,  the file vacpp.jam was located within boost at:
./tools/build/v2/tools/vacpp.jam

# Configure the vacpp toolset
rule init ( version ? : command * : options * )
{
    local condition = [
        common.check-init-parameters vacpp : version $(version) ] ;

    command = [ common.get-invocation-command vacpp : xlC
        : $(command) : "/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC" ] ;

    common.handle-options vacpp : $(condition) : $(command) : $(options) ;
}

  Best regards,
Ta,
