Tagging Source Changes

When you have a file Set to Lang Cobolx, you can have Qedit automatically tag source changes with a comment in columns 73 through 80. You might choose to tag the changes with the date of the changes and perhaps the initials of the changer:

  /set lang cobolx          {lines contain 80 columns}  /set x "rmg"              {tag changes with a string (COBOLX)}  /set x date               {tag changes with the date (COBOLX)}  /set x yymmdd "bg"        {see Set X for more options}  /set x list off           {suppress listing of the tags}  /set lang cobolx all on   {force all COBOL to COBOLX}  

These configuring options can be made the default by putting them in one of your Qeditmgr configuration files. Other options that are useful with COBOL:

  /set window(7/72)         {change without shifting comments}  /set wrap on              {wrap overflow lines to column 12}  /list "cust-rec" (smart)  {look for "symbols" only}  /set maxdata 31000        {default Maxdata= for PREP}
