And it looks like SlickEdit can beautify COBOL, as well. Might be hard to get a copy, but you could check eBay. Perhaps other editors also do this (i.e., that Swiss-army knife known as Emacs might be a start).


As far as I can see SlickEdit can only beautify

Ada
. C#
. C/C++
. CFML
. HTML
. Java
. JavaScript
. Slick-C
. XML and XSD

Ah. Well someone on the internets claimed that COBOL was a supported language. Not the first time I've been mislead by the web.

As an aside, when I have to work with COBOL I use the Win32 editor that comes with IBM VisualAge COBOL. I don't recall if it does beautification out of the box, but it has a rudimentary extensions "API".
