It is possible to collapse/uncollapse sections in visual cobol for eclipse but I can't find a way to collapse if-statements.

It would enhance the overview of a program significally to be able to toggle complex if-blocks on and off.

Anyone that know a way to do this?

Code regions are currently only defined automatically for COBOL divisions and sections including user-defined sections and paragraphs in the procedure division.

You can define your own collapsible regions by enclosing code within the $region and $end-region tags within your source so you could surround a complex if statement with these tags in order to hide it but this will not be done automatically.

If you open up a support incident with Customer Support then we could raise this as a possible enhancement request.

Thanks
