PSPad unicode 4.5.8 (2485) English

pspad:

LCK file is created by PSPad. If you want to edito your file outside PSPad, you can't use this method. No other application recognize LCK file meaning.

Is there a reason why you chose not to use the LockFile WinAPI to do this? Seems like an ideal application for it.

I don't like idea to lock file for whole time of editing. It can cause problems on SAMBA and non Windows servers.
For my opinion, you need information file is curently edited by somebody else, not to fully lock the file.
E.g. case you are editing live web server files. If you will fully lock it, you can disable web server functionality.

A minor point - in the menu Help appears as Help(x) in this latest version.

Yes, cause there is no free shortcut. Alt+X = menu Help

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. Never using Alt-char to bring up a menu (I just click with the mouse) it hadn't occurred to me that this was a problem - it just looked a bit untidy.

FYI: alt+key fo menu access works even when other functionality occupies that certain alt+key shortcut: just use alt+shift+key instead.

I agree this looks messy.

Hi, seems like a string does not terminate correctly anymore.
COBOL syntax ; only if the last " is set in column 72.

ex.

123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012
PARAGRAPH-1.
MOVE "This is a very very very very very very large string !"
TO VARIABLE-1.

everything after the last " is treated like the rest of the string literal unless somewhere a new beginning " is found in some other line...

if the last " is positioned at column 71 or less : no problem

Please send me sample COBOL file as attachment into support mail. I can't correctly handle spaces here

If you use Cobol in Free Format, try to configure "End of code"=120 (or greater) in Settings/Highlighters Settings/COBOL/Specification, for me this works fine!
