When I use Visual COBOL to open tutorial projects, I saw strikethrough fonts (cross line fonts) occasionally appearing somewhere. Both on Windows and REDHAT:

on REDHAT:

I really want to know how to eliminate those annoying appearance.
Really appreciated for any hints.
#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxHello,
The data items with strikethrough are those that are not referenced or used in the program. I'm not sure if it's possible to disable it.
Cheers,

#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxI saw this:
6. You will notice that some data items in data division are crossed out. That is because they are not referenced directly in procedure division. Be careful though. Don't be tempted to remove these data items from your code without being sure. If the data item is inside a copy file, then other program may be using them.
But it did not tell me how to disable it. -- Maybe I should just leave there as it is.
Anyway , thank you for the hyperlink.

#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxYou can change this in the Eclipse settings. From the Eclipse menu, navigate to:
Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > COBOL > Editor > Syntax Coloring
In the "Elements" box you will find an entry for Unreferenced Items. Select it and you can adjust the color and style that will be applied.

#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxHi Jack
Chuck's answer is perfect. Just in case a video would help, you can check the following link for some basics about the Eclipse Editor:
Visual COBOL for Eclipse in a Nutshell:Editor Basics
At about 3:35, the video shows a shortcut to get to Editor preferences, and at about 4:20, there is discussion of choosing and customizing the colorization options used in the Visual COBOL for Eclipse editor.

#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxThank you, Chuck. That is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect answer!

I unchecked strike-through font , instead, using dark yellow color. it looks much better and consistent!
Thank you again,

#Cross-Linefont#Windows#Strike-ThroughFont#LinuxFor anyone else viewing this thread, I highly recommend the video that Blair linked to above. He has several other videos in the same series that are invaluable in gaining a good working knowledge of Visual COBOL for Eclipse.

I watched through your YouTube video. very informative.
I think I will watch it again while I am using Visual COBOL.
Yes, I would recommend it to everyone I know.
