Setting parser styles

Use the Parser Styles preference to set syntax parsing options for the editors.

Limitation: In the z Systems® LPEX Editor, the pli parser does not distinguish between keywords and variables that have the same identifier as keywords. If a variable name is the same as a keyword, the variable is styled as a keyword.

Procedure

  1. In the Preferences window, navigate to LPEX Editor > Parsers > Parser Styles.
  2. From the Document parser list, select the appropriate parser for the editor.
    For example, select cobol to set parser styles for COBOL files.
  3. Use the Styles list and attribute controls to set options for the document parser selected.
    The Preview pane shows the results of your selections.
