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}
