    Could you please let me know if this Editor can use as a COBOL editor. I know the programming language is old but I am still using it.

    Thanks.

      I have answered a few questions about syntax highlighting for COBOL so there are users of UltraEdit which use it for COBOL. I personally do not know anything about COBOL but give it a try. The wordfile for syntax highlighting can be download from the download section of this website. Search also this forum for COBOL.

        Hi alvin

        One of UltraEdit powerful features is it FTP capabilities.
        I FTP to a AS/400 (iSeries) both QSYS library file structure and to the IFS.
        UltraEdit supports FTP to AIX, AS400, BS2000, HP3000, MVS, OS9000 & VAX/VMS.

        There is a feature that will help syntax highlighting on commented lines.
        I would say it's new but it's been around a good while.

        Code: Select all

        Line Comment = * Line Comment Valid Columns = [7]
        So the first line could read

        Code: Select all

        /L12"COBOL" Line Comment = * Line Comment Valid Columns = [7] Nocase File Extensions = CBL cbl COB cob CPY cpy
        Hope you find this helpful

        <<< NEVER MIND >>>
        Someone has updated "Cobol - 09/27/2005" so this code change has already been made!

        I just looked at the new syntax highlighting file, I would remove TXT on the file extensions for COBOL, other wise all text will have COBOL syntax applied.
