Description

UNNUMBER is valid only when number mode is also on. The standard sequence field, the COBOL sequence field, or both, are blanked out. If you alter or delete sequence numbers and enter UNNUMBER on the command line at the same time, the editor issues the message Some input data ignored and discards the data you typed over the sequence numbers.

To set all sequence fields to blanks, turn number mode off, and position the panel so that column 1 is the first column to appear:
