  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When changing from NUM ON COBOL to NUM  *
  *                      ON STD COBOL, the command must be       *
  *                      entered twice to properly position the  *

  ****************************************************************
  When editing a member that has NUM ON COBOL, the edit display
  is positioned such that column 7 is the left most column
  displayed.  When entering NUM ON STD COBOL, the display should
  not change, but in fact is scrolled so that column 1 is the
  left most column.  The NUM ON STD COBOL command must be entered
  again to reposition the display back to column 7.
  

Problem conclusion

• When number mode is entered, the editor attempts to determine
  if the display needs to be repositioned.  When the display was
  already positioned to the proper location, the editor would
  improperly reset the display.  Code has been added to ensure the
  display will be properly set in all cases.
