Configuring IntelliSense for COBOL - Insertion

Insertion

You can specify whether IntelliSense adds items from the completion lists in insert or in overwrite mode:

Completion inserts

Select this to add IntelliSense suggestions in insert mode.

Completion overwrites

Select this to add IntelliSense suggestions in overwrite mode.

Insert single suggestion automatically

Check this to automatically insert a suggestion in the code, if it is a single item in the suggestions list.

Add new line on enter at end of fully typed word

When this is checked, pressing Enter right after you have fully typed a word creates a new line and moves the cursor to it.

The following settings only apply to native COBOL:

Case of reserved words

Specify the case of reserved words that will be inserted in the code:

• By dialect - Default. IntelliSense inserted reserved words using the case required by the COBOL dialect of the project or the program.
• Upper case - IntelliSense inserts reserved words in upper case.
• Lower case - IntelliSense inserts reserved words in lower case.

Case of identifiers

Specify the case of identifiers that will be inserted in the code:

• As declared - Default. The case of identifiers that IntelliSense inserts is as in their declaration.
• Upper case - IntelliSense inserts identifiers in upper case.
• Lower case - IntelliSense inserts identifiers in lower case.
