Make it more obvious what's boilerplate and what's code being tested

Open axtens opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Currently line numbers are not being used in columns 1-6. Can the code being tested have line numbers matching the line in the original, viz:

       boilerplate code 
000001 identification division.
000002 program-id. code-being-tested.
       more boilerplate code

Thus when gnucobol complains, the programmer can open the CC##*.cob file at the point of error and see the line number of the code being tested and be able to go back to the source at the matching line.
