Well, I'm no spring chicken so maybe it's just me, but it is easier for me to locate and read the positions on the ruler than the digital column counter. With all the text all over the screen it's just easier for me. The only thing I can liken it to is how overwhelming all the gauges on the dashboard of the car or an airplane would be if they were all digital counters. But again, maybe it's just me. My reason for asking about the ruler was to find out if this was an intentional change or was a glitch with the new fixpack. Thanks.

I see your point, but if you look at the line above it tells you exactly
what line and column you are on. So are you really missing any
information.
BTW, the highest voted RFE is to provide indentation and formatting, so it
is definitely on my radar screen.

I prefer to have the ruler too. For one thing, it is easier to see where
columns 6 and 7 are. Free-Form+++++ tells me nothing. I also just noticed
that that as I arrow down through a sub-procedure, the ruler area changes
as follows: last D-spec = column names, blank line = column names from
previous D-spec, /Free = ruler, blank line = column names from previous
D-spec, free format line = Free-From+++++.
