RELATED IDEAS

Renumber the two columns if the option 'Check for sequence numbers in both areas' is ticked.

The new 'Check for sequence numbers in both areas' Unnumbering option is linked to RFE 68691 (delivered in RDz 9.5.1).
It can be reached in Window > Preferences > COBOL > Editor > Sequence Numbers.
When this option is selected and the Unnumber action is chosen in the editor the sequence numbers will be removed from area 1-6 as well as from area 73-80.

However, this new designed for Euro Information solution works only to "Unnumber" (Ctrl + Shift + -) but not to "Renumber" (Ctrl + Shift + =)
the sequence numbers in a file.
We cannot Renumber the two columns together if the option 'Check for sequence numbers in both areas' is ticked.

We want IBM to give us a solution to "Renumber" the two columns (at the same time) when this option is ticked.

This request is for us justified by the fact that the sequence numbers are always linked to pairs of commands like 'num on/num off' or 'num std/unnum' under TSO ISPF or under LPEX in RDz.
In the same logic, Unnumber or Renumber should have been considered as pairs of commands.
Thus, we should be able to impact the two columns at the same time with Unnumber or with Renumber when the option 'Check for sequence numbers in both areas' is ticked.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
