Error description

  • In SuperC with ISPF 3.15, an issue has been identified involving
    incorrect coloring of the LINE-# column and the SRCHFOR target
    string. The problem is reproducible only when concatenated
    datasets are used, specifically when a member exceeds 9999 lines
    and the found value appears after line 99999. The issue does not
    occur when using a single dataset with the IDPFX option.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In ISPF 3.1, I am viewing a SRCHFOR     *
    *                      listing with highlighting turned on,    *
    *                      yet there are obvious mismatches in     *
    *                      the highlights. On line 9 of the        *
    *                      uploaded listing, you can see these:    *
    *                      1) LINE-# column is miscolored          *
    *                      2) The target SRCHFOR string is         *
    *                      highlighted, but not on any other line. *
    ****************************************************************
    Inconsistent highlighting in superC when searching in
    concatenated data sets
    

Problem conclusion

  • Added logic to highlight the digits in indexes below 10000 and
    fixed corner cases interfering with that logic
