This is true.
For example:
MVC FIELD,=X'78726566' comment
"MVC" is red, "FIELD", ",=" is yellow, "X", is green, "'78726566'" is white,
and "comment" is blue
MVC FIELD,=C'xref' comment
"MVC" is red, "FIELD", ",=" is yellow, "C", is green, "'xref'" is white, and
"comment" is blue
MVC FIELD,=CA'xref' comment
"MVC" is red, "FIELD", ",=" is yellow, "CA'xref", is green, "'
comment" is white
Interestingly, if I have other values instead of "xref" *haven't determined
whether it is the x or the f that causes this pattern), I get other results
(for example "'obj'" shows up as green with comments in blue, a blank
between the quotes turns the rest of the line to blue, special characters
show up yellow).
I tend to use the colorization as a quick gauge on the syntax mainly to make
sure a comment isn't passed to a macro by accident or something equally as
annoying :-).
