Gvim knows I am using legacy format. It highlights bad code placement in
red. And it is not a problem of what position land on. It is a problem
where I do a return after editing line A and line A suddenly leaps to the
right. Now I have a program that renumbers with the traditional 6 digits
e.g.,
000010 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
But Gvim goes crazy when I insert four spaces followed by
10 IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
When I hit return at the end of that line then it leaps to the right and
of course is colored red because it is no longer valid COBOL code.
I'll renumber using the old style and see what happens.
