Smart edit mode controls the behavior of word wrapping and indentation in the different JCL areas. With it enabled, you can change the following configuration options in the
Typing preferences dialog box: select
Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > JCL > Editor > Typing.
- Wrapping
-
- Wrap code when source code area end is reached - lines wrap when you reach column 71.
- Wrapping moves the text in the right hand area to the new line - any comments in the right-hand area stay in the right-hand area but move to the next line when wrapping from column 71.
- Wrap lines when deleting forwards and backwards - when you press
Delete after the last non-white space in the area, the line beneath moves up, and comments in the right-hand area stay with the associated line of code. Similarly, when you press
Backspace in column 1, the current line moves up, and comments in the right-hand area stay with the associated line of code.
- Indentation
-
- Enter key and smart wrapping adjust the indentation on the new line - automatic indentation options.
- Tab/Shift-Tab keys adjust the indentation based on the area margins - changes the way the
Home and
End keys move the cursor in the JCL editor. Pressing
Home repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately before the first non-white space in the current area, then at the beginning of the area, or to the first non-white space in the preceding area. Pressing
End repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately after the last non-white space in the current area, and then at the start of the following area.
- Comments
-
- Continue comments on to new line
