How to give line number automatically using Parallel Develop

Hi,
I am using Endevor Parallel Development Option for merging one derivative code to root code.

As Root code is baselined we are not allowed to renumber the lines. We are supposed to insert line numbers manually if we are inserting any code in between the lines.

I have observed that when we create merged component the merged component gets re-numbered.

Is there any option available with PDM to insert line numbers in between the existing line numbers without renumbering or to avoid the renumbering of merged component?

Endevor PDM uses standard editing commands such as NUM OFF, NUM OFF STD, NUM ON COBOL, UNNUM, AUTONUM, etc. You may wish to use NUM OFF to turn off automatic line numbering.

Generally speaking, the standard Endevor type definition for COBOL language is compare columns 7 - 72 but this might have changed during Endevor implementation or by your Endevor Administrator. If your site is using the standard COBOL type definition with compare columns 7 - 72 then Endevor would not compare the sequence numbers in these columns and therefore Endevor would not flag every line as changed just because the sequence numbers changed.
