Comment/Un comment Multiple lines in COBOL code

This tool can come handy if you have to do a lot of commenting and un commenting in a COBOL module. Doing it manually is not my way so here’s another freebie for all you guys hungry for mainframe tools.

To use this clist you need to copy the code in a PDS allocated to Sysproc and then issue a “command line command” CCOM with parameters ON/OFF for commenting/un commenting respectively, and issue a “line command”

V- Single line command

Vn – n is the number of lines to be commented/uncommented

VV- It is a block command, the lines between a block will be commented / un commented.
