I'm working on a sizable REXX routine. And I have Hilite set for REXX and color for "IF" and "DO" along with parenthesis matching.

Now this is NOT a REXX thing, per se. It is an Edit/Hilite thing in ISPF.

This morning, while doing some research for a routine involving the use of the C/C++ Compiler, I noticed that the coloring was not right (the code will ultimately generate JCL).

There is a string that is built and assigned to a variable, like so:

table_end = substr('x//* END Marker',1,50,' ')

After the /* is seen, everything from that point has the color of a comment.

Now, I don't remember seeing this in this code before this morning (and I've been working on this off and on for better than a year).

And I can stop this coloration by inserting */ after the closing parenthesis. But, REXX, when executing will not be happy when it hits that */.

Anyone else see something like this?

Before I go open an ETR with ISPF, I just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.

Regards,
Steve Thompson
