To remove line numbers from source code

You use the unnumber command to remove the COBOL line numbers from source code:

1. Open a source file in the editor.
2. Right-click the source code in the COBOL editor, and click Source > Unnumber. Alternatively, click in the Eclipse toolbar.

   This removes any numbers and text that are in the area for the selected line numbering style.

   Note: If you have selected Perform line numbering on save from the preferences (Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > COBOL > Editor > Line Numbering), the line numbers will be reapplied with the source file is next saved.

For example, if you have configured the editor to use COBOL line numbering, unnumbering removes all text from the COBOL sequence area.

You can use Undo to revert the changes.

The style of the line numbers is specified in Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > COBOL > Editor > Line Numbering.
