When we originally installed VC 2.2 for VS 2012 about a year ago we noticed that COBOL colorization under Tools>Options>Environment>Fonts and Colors was non-existent, but we were busy with other issues converting from Net Express 5.1. As of today we are at VC 2.3.1 for VS 2013 by the following route:
1. Uninstalled VC 2.2, upgraded VS to 2013 and installed VC 2.3.
2. Installed Hotfix 1 for VC 2.3 for VS 2013.
3. Installed Update 1 for VC 2.3 for VS 2013.
At stages 1 and 2 we checked and still no COBOL colorization. Now today on VC 2.3.1 we have exactly two COBOL colorization options; "COBOL Code Coverage - Covered" and "COBOL Code Coverage - Not Covered".
What are we missing or what have we done wrong? Anybody?
The "tripping issue" for this is we are now doing maintenance on the converted applications which contain Copybooks with REPLACING clauses, and when you "show with replaced values" the expanded source is displayed black-on-dark-blue and is unreadable.
We want to change this, and hope it can be done once we fix our COBOL colorization issue.
