Hi,

In my COBOL program i am having line nos on the right side.I gave NUM ON STD COB.,then the numbers are disappearing.but when i try to close the dataset and then reopen, again the numbers are coming....

Any C ALL command is there to get rid of this???

Thanks,
Arun

Hi !

Try NUMBER OFF.

Then delete all LineNumbers.

Use ShiftRight-Comand ore CangeCommand.

Hi,
Is there any specific reason to delete the line numbers. It is highly inefficient and non standard way of programming. What ever you want to do, please do it between 1-72 l(Inclusive) lines of the cobol coding sheet. from 73 it is left to system which will replace iwth its own line numbers using configuration management faility.

If you still remove them, please try the following command after NUM OFF <enter>

C all 73 80 p'¬' ' '

But I am not sure if it places again if you use any explicit configuration management tool.

Cheers,

For COBOL you should use "NUM ON COB" not "NUM ON STD" this will put the line numbers in 1-6 instead of 72-80. You should then code your COBOL in col 6-72, as COBOL is normally coded.

Hi,

Try this command "NUM ON STD COB" it will show the contents 7-72 character's only.

It will help You.

UmeySan has posted a method that addresses your requirement perfectly.
Do this in your edit session

Code:
==> NUMBER OFF
PRESS ENTER
==> C ALL P'======' 73 '      '
PRESS ENTER


I hope it is clear enough! icon_smile.gif

Execute the following commands

NUM ON
RENUM
UNNUM
NUM OFF


It may be overkill, but the num on/renum will ensure all lines have line numbers. UNNUM removes them all and num off ensures your edit profile for the dataset won't add numbers back in.
