Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Check with your systems programmer. HILITE may have been purposely disabled. If it is disabled, ask for the reason why...and it had better be good! If *you* are the systems programmer, then run ISPCCONF to figure out what your default setting is. - Original Message - Hi Neil, Thanks for your info!

about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi all, I am new to ISPF Editor. When I am editing a COBOL file, I found that syntax highlighting is OFF, When I type HILITE ON in the command line, it says HILITE unavailable, Seems that it is disabled somehow. Does anyone meet this problem? How can I enable it again? Thanks!

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
KC Eric, I remember encountering a similar message when trying 'hilite dtl' on an HFS HTML file that had records that were longer than 255 characters. However, as you mention COBOL I doubt that that's the reason. Anyway, did you press F1 (or enter 'help') upon the first message being displayed? Maybe there will be another message telling you in more detail what's wrong. Robert -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- von KC Eric Wong Gesendet: Dienstag, 20. März 2007 08:27 Hi all, I am new to ISPF Editor.

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply! I pressed F1 and it says The HILITE command is not available in mixed mode edit sessions. Then, I go to Menu - Edit - Options, to disable Mixed Mode. Also, I changed all lower case characters to upper case, but still it doesn't work. What does Mixed mode edit session means? Thanks!

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Had to look up 'Mixed Mode' first and it seems to be related to DBCS. Here's what the tutorial page says on 'Mixed Mode': You can edit unformatted mixed data which contains both EBCDIC (one-byte) characters and Double Byte Character Set (DBCS or two-byte) characters. To do this, you must specify mixed mode. The field is provided on the Edit entry panel for specifying the operation mode: Enter / to select option / Mixed Mode where / indicates mixed mode edit, and indicates conventional edit. If the terminal does not support DBCS, the operation mode is ignored. As I do not have the slightest experience with DBCS I can't be of more help unfortunately. The tutorial pages on HILITE do not mention explicitly whether DBCS is supported or not. Your experience suggests it is not.

Re: about HILITE in ISPF Editor
Hi Robert, Thanks much for your help! I also do not have any experience on DBCS. And after trials and errors, finally it works ! In the System Main Menu - PDF, instead of choosing Utilities - Dslist, I chose Edit, then a screen came up, and then I typed the dataset name and chose not to enable Mixed Mode. Before, I disable Mixd Mode within the ISPF editor, it didn't work, though, strange. Thanks again for your information!

Eric: I expect the editor doesn't recognize the file type ie. LLQ
of dsn, as specific to Cobol. You can *always* tell it which kind of
high-lighting you desire; even in the wrong file. Give HILITE COBOL
a try. (You'll probably have to PROFILE SAVE so the editor will
retain the setting past the current session.)
Note: It can be helpful to change the high-lighting within a single
session. For example, you're editing a JCL library that has instream
Cobol or Rexx. (or both) HILITE COBOL happily flagged my JCL as if
it were Cobol source but the instream Cobol has the right high-
lighting. Check out HELP HILITE within the editor for all the
available possibilities.
ps. I love the 'new' profiles. It's saved me from lotsa simple JCL
typos ie. the infamous missing comma, because the colour of the line
was wrong. ('course, it won't tell you *what* is wrong but... ;^)
