Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 13, Issue 312

I periodically search for RFEs for COBOL--and I generally vote for
anything new. I think it would help if we (those of us who use COBOL--even
just occasionally) all made a point to vote for any COBOL related
enhancements. It would let IBM know there are people who still use COBOL.
With enhancements, I think "If you build it, they will come" would apply.

Jeff--What happens when you do the Alt+L to mark a line and then Alt+C? I
use it all the time without issue.

Re: [WDSCI-L] COBOL support in RDi?


I didn't realize RPG had cross-reference data in the outline view. Yes
that would be nice to have in COBOL.

I am using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V. It had something to do when they added

all

the column support after WDSC, could not just copy and paste one line if
you started the copy from Column 1. The pasting of the line stops at
Column 7.

I tried Alt-L and Alt-C and still sometimes it doesn't work paste the

one

line correctly. Also notice the Alt-L Alt-C paste it one line below

where

I want to copy. I want to copy a line from Column 1 and paste it on the
next line below it starting in Column 1 and I have never been able to

get

it to work consistently since WDSC 7. Coping more than 1 line never

gives

me issues, just 1 line by itself.

Thanks,
Jeff

I too would love to see some enhancements to the COBOL parser.

Jeff, are you using Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy and paste?
If so, try Alt-L to mark the line(s) and Alt-C to copy them instead.

The Working-Storage section of the Outline view is the most

disappointing.

I'd really like to see the cross-reference data there like you get with
RPG.
