IDz - Unsplit the program lines in the COBOL editor

Hello

In the IDz test version (14.2.3.x or 15.0.x), if any component has unusual splitted lines of code in the source library, then formatting option in IDz editor doesn't unsplit the lines. Pls find a sample case as below ;

---
---
Move tmp-x(2
:
4
)
to tmp-y
---
---

is getting displayed as it is in COBOL editor, whereas it is expected to unsplit the lines in editor display.

--
--
Move tmp-x(2:4) to tmp-y
--
--

Please include this minor feature in the editor settings.

Regards

    Again, thank you for submitting a request for enhancement, we value all suggestions made by our clients. This is a follow up to the last request for response, if we do not get a reply we will assume you have what you need and process the enhancement to closure.

    After reviewing this RFE we wondered if perhaps this might meet your requirement.

    Using the preference COBOL > Editor > Sequence Numbers and turn on Manage Sequence Number option enables the Smart Join option. After enabling this place the cursor on the line with the Move statement in the COBOL editor and press Ctrl+Alt+J to perform the join.
