this link has a couple of mainframe apps that will do what you want, but they are not free:
http://www.cobug.com/cobug/docs/editors0036.html
not a lot of stuff (nothing for free) for the mainframe.
lots of stuff for the pc. google.
I have written my own ISPF Edit Macros to accomplish this.
but I rarely type, usually copy & paste.

Indentation makes the code to appear like an outline - indentation is by "level"
For Data Division something like: | Code: |
01 some-stuff.
05 part-1 pic x(10).
05 part-2.
10 fld1 pic xx.
10 fld2 pic x(7). |
For Procedure Dividion: | Code: |
my-para.
if something = 'AASSDD' and
something-else not = 'VALUE'
perform some-other-para
end-if |
And so on for readability.

Why not just do it while writing the code? I never found it that tough...

I have code for the PC that is free. One "problem" you have on the m/f is the fact that if the code is written with multiple if/else/if/else etc etc, indenting the code would end up trying to write details "beyond" column 80.
The code I have indents evaluates/ifs/strings and indents as must as necessary - the point being that it's easy for you to then see which blocks of code belong to which verbs.
Send me a private note if it's of interest. |
