Works fine under z/OS 1.12 here. Only the quoted literals from quote to quote on all lines are highlighted. The comments on all lines are in light blue, the quoted literals are white.

I recently noticed that some assembler comments were being hi-lited strangely within the ISPF editor. I finally realized that this was only on packed decimal literals, the high-lighter is treating the closing quote of the packed value (without an explicit length) as if it were the opening quote of a character literal. This seems to have started when we upgraded to z/OS 1.13. Example (non-assembling) code: TEST2 TITLE 'Test assembler' TEST2 CSECT CLC CHAR,=C'AA' Character CLC PACK,=P'10' Packed <---WRONG! CLC PACK,=PL3'11' Packed CLC BIN,=F'20' Fullword CLC BIN,=H'20' Halfword END The list server won't accept images, so copy the above into an ISPF edit session, and switch hi-liting on. Can someone verify that hi-liting works properly in ISPF edit prior to z/OS 1.13 for me.
