"Changing your font" has AFAIK *zero* effect on the appearance of IBMMAIN emails as received. They are in plain UTF-8 format and fonts are an artifact of HTML format.

I think the rules for COBOL continuation lines have been pretty well covered. I would add only that since you want to include an apostrophe [aka single quote (')] in your displays, you should use the quote (") [aka double quote] as the all COBOL manuals show. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
