RE: Why can't I push my source file changes?

This is not quite what you are looking for, but it may help.

If you use copy books for your FD statements, then you can position the
cursor on the line that contains a copybook and right-click.  You will see a
Copy Books option, which has two suboptions to either Edit or Browse the
copybook.

Thanks,

Don,

Thanks for your reply - I'm learning more and more each day about this tool.
The F spec tip is good, but I'm a COBOL programmer.  Is there a similar way 
to show fields for COBOL users?
