As a new mainframe developer, I'm still quite used to snazzy IDEs that make reading/editing code a lot easier. And about 99% of the time, I'm able to use them. However, inevitably, I have to resort to viewing a dataset via green screen.
I'm able to enable HILITE when editing a file, but I haven't been able to when browsing one. I know the simple solution would be to just go into edit mode, but I figured surely it could be enabled for browse mode too?
TLDR: Is there any way to enable HILITE when in browse mode? |

Use VIEW instead of BROWSE.
View allows you to display source data or output listings. With View,
members of partitioned data sets, DASD-resident sequential data sets,
or z/OS UNIX files can be displayed, and updated using Edit primary
and line commands. Changes to data are not saved. |

re: used to snazzy IDEs
fyi. I am retired now, but during the last few years that I was working, we used Rational Developer for Z. It used VS Code for editing on Windows, but had capability to store, compile and build to a mainframe. And, I recall it had an interactive debugger.
See www.ibm.com/products/developer-for-zos |
