Re: Editing HLASM source with Visual Studio - columns 73-80
Maybe press the "Insert" key on your PC keyboard to overtype instead of inserting characters? Or a combination of insert-on and insert-off typing? Logically it shouldn’t be any different than inserting text in a regular document, should it? Unless VS has a really funky text editor . . . But first a more general question: Why in the world are you still using sequence numbers in 73-80? Use ISPF EDIT "UNNUM" command as the first thing you do for any mainframe code, get rid of those relics of IEBUPDTE ASAP. I haven't had any use or need for sequence numbers in 73-80 on an MVS or derivative OS in over 3 decades. VM/CMS is a different animal though, I will admit.

Lots of experience with VS for C but none with Z assembler. I do however use the excellent Notepad++ with Z assembler. (I have a profile for assembler code if anyone wants it -- write me off-line.)

Re: Editing HLASM source with Visual Studio - columns 73-80
Charles, I just experimented with a very basic code and text editor called TextPad. I installed it, as well as a IBM Z-series Assembly Language syntax addon available from their site. I then went into >Configure>Preferences>Document Classes>Z/OS HLASM (the name I gave to files with an ASM suffix). There I checked on WORD WRAP LONG LINES and set WORD BREAK AT COLUMN NUMBER: 73. This at least prevents going past column 72.

Re: Editing HLASM source with Visual Studio - columns 73-80
I think so. If you open the "command pallet" via Ctrl + Shift + P, then type
in "Open Settings (JSON)", you can paste this in the top:
...
"[hlasm]": {
"editor.rulers": [
71,
72,

],
},
...
There's a graphical way to set this, but it's too complicated :). This assumes
the file extensions ends with one of:
".hlasm",
".asm",
".s",
".asmpgm",
".mac",
".asmmac"
