There are editor commands for inserting COBOL line numbers (left side of the code) or standard line numbers (right side of the code):
- COBOL numbering - line numbers are inserted in the sequence area of the code (columns 1 - 6), starting by default at 000100 at the first line, incrementing by 100 by default.
Micro Focus recommends that you use COBOL numbering only if your files are in fixed or variable source format.
- Standard numbering - line numbers are inserted immediately to the right of area B, in columns 73 - 80, starting by default at 00000100 at the first line, incrementing by 100 by default.
Micro Focus recommends that you use Standard numbering only if your files are in fixed format.
