This is a question for you mainframers who do your COBOL programming
in ISPF. In all of the years that I've used it, there has always been
one annoying thing about the editing environment (well there are a
lot, but this is post is only about 1). When you enter the line
command COLS, you get a nice scale on the line right after the
command. But once you page forward, that scale is gone.

Does anyone know of a way in ISPF to have a scale, say on line 1 and
have it stay there even when paging forward or backward?

Thanks.
