When I hit the "Enter" key at the end of a line the current line jumps

I use traditional COBOL line numbers in columns 1-6 but with leading zero

Suggestions?
It shouldn't be "about ten" but either seven (leaving you in column 8,
after a 6-character line number then one column for space, - or *, and
ready to type a paragraph-, section- or division-name), or eleven,
leaving you in column 12, ready to type the contents of a paragraph.
Maybe you could leave the "new line numbers" temporarily blank, and
renumber your source file afterwards? Possibly using linewise-visual (or
programmatic) blocks, so that the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION gets line
numbers starting at 000010, the ENVIRONMENT DIVISION starting at 100000,
the DATA DIVISION, maybe starting at 200000 or so, and the PROCEDURE
DIVISION starting at 500000 ? And, of course (if you really want a
"traditional" numbering scheme), numbered by tens so new lines can be
inserted without disturbing the existing numbers. ;-)
I think there is a way to tell Vim whether you're using "traditional" or
"modern" COBOL programming style... let me check...
Ah, there. Does
:let g:cobol_legacy_code = 1
make a difference? The other possibility is
:silent! unlet g:cobol_legacy_code
see :help ft-cobol-syntax
Best regards,
Tony.
