RE: Source Tidy Utility

[Winchester Terry <terry.winchester@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian,

The only thing I've ever seen to tidy-up COBOL code
(on an AS/400) was a utility published on the
iSeriesNetwork.  I think it was written by Ray Harris
(the current forum moderator) and was designed to
make viewing thru SEU more palatable :)

http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/resources/code/misccode/cobolcode/

FWIW, I have never tried it.  If you want this but
can't get to the link contact me via e-mail and
I'll send you the ZIP file.

Terry
