To reset the directives on COBOL files

This triggers a directives scann of the COBOL files in your project and sets Compiler directives on them as specified in Tools > Options > Projects > COBOL Project Settings.

If necessary, check and ensure the options for setting directives are the ones you require. Click Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > COBOL Project Settings.
In Solution Explorer, right-click your project or the file whose directives you want to reset.
Click Reset source directives.
Each file is handled in turn, as follows:
- The existing directives are removed
- The file is scanned to determine the directives currently required
- Directives are set on the files as specified in COBOL Project Settings.
  If the directive is already set on project level, it is not reset on file level.
Check the Output window to see the results of the directives scanning.
It shows which files were scanned and what directives have been set or unset on them.
