Problem:

When coding new source code, how can we tell where the columns are since MFE does not support the ISPF Editor COLS command?

Resolution:

One can use two methods so programmers can track column location when coding new source code:

- The MFE IDE Editor lists the current cursor column location in the lower

   right hand side of the window display. Programmers should be made aware of this.

- A master template could be made from which programmers begin to code their source.

   Such a file could contain either of these records:

     1234.6789.1234.6789.1234.6789.1234.6789.1234.6789.

         5    10   5    20   5    30   5    40   5    50
