[I didn't see the original message on the newsgroup but it might be queued up in the ListServ maintenance.] Eric: I expect the editor doesn't recognize the "file type" ie. LLQ of dsn, as specific to Cobol. You can *always* tell it which kind of high-lighting you desire; even in the wrong file. Give HILITE COBOL a try. (You'll probably have to PROFILE SAVE so the editor will retain the setting past the current session.) Note: It can be helpful to change the high-lighting within a single session. For example, you're editing a JCL library that has instream Cobol or Rexx. (or both) HILITE COBOL happily flagged my JCL as if it were Cobol source but the instream Cobol has the right high- lighting. Check out HELP HILITE within the editor for all the available possibilities. ps. I love the 'new' profiles. It's saved me from lotsa simple JCL typos ie. the infamous missing comma, because the colour of the line was wrong.
