While not an IDE, I find the HILITE JCL to be very helpful in
pointing out syntax errors. I suspect that HILITE PLI might do what
you're looking for. I also note, from Help (z/OS v1.7), that many
other languages are supported. (hmmm... never contemplated ISPF as
an HTML editor. *grin*)
-----> ISPF editor Help: Supported Languages <-----
Valid language names are:
AUTO DEFAULT OTHER
ASM BOOK C COBOL DTL HTML IDL JCL
PANEL PASCAL PLI REXX SKEL SUPERC XML
OTHER is a pseudo-language similar to PL/I but with only very basic
keywords (DO, END, SELECT, WHEN, IF, THEN, ELSE, etc). OTHER can be
used on many languages such as CLIST. OTHER also does not support
any compiler directives. DEFAULT is used when AUTO is specified,
but no language can be determined.
