Hi,

Please help me recalling the arrangement of line numbers in a COBOl program.

I am trying to write a COBOL program, i want to get the line numbers(the second set of line numbers) which are against the actual line numbers.

Please let me know the importance of it and the precautions to be taken while using the NUM On command.

Please let me know all the possible ways of using NUM on to achieve the purpose and the precautions to be taken so that we don't miss any line order of the program.

Please let me know if by any chance using these commands something goes wrong then how would we correct it.

Thanks.

The ISPF help panels discuss in detail the NUMBER command and related ones. Have you read them?

This not a link - it refers to the online help panel.

The line numbers used by the editor are not the same as the "line numbers" shown in position 1-6 of some cobol source.

I'm really not sure what you are asking. . . icon_confused.gif

By online, he refers to TSO. Logon to TSO and get into the ISPF editor, and press PF1.
