Change the Source Type

To change the source type:

  1. Close program.pli.
  2. Select it in the project tree.
  3. In the Properties pane, change the source type from Normal to Punched Card.
  4. Open program.pli.
  5. Insert spaces at the left margin to recover the colorization.
    Note:
    1. If you add spaces into the end of the comment until the end comment marker */ is past column 72, this causes it to become invalid because the / is outside the margins and so the whole program is treated as a comment. Thus it is displayed in the comment color.
    2. Characters outside the margins are coloured with PL/I Margin.
    3. The -margins 2,72 option is automatically added to the compile line for this program.
