Elardus:
I think I found the problem that caused ISPF to go sideways on
coloring.
A self-inflicted wound as it were.
I did a subsequent find for a string that identified a routine I
need to add logic to, about 2000 lines earlier. It was there I
noticed that I had mangled a literal. It started with " and ended
with '.
That was the beginning of sorrows. So ISPF went nuts with
coloring (Er hat die Nase voll).
BTW -I did state at the beginning that I was doing REXX coloring
including IF and DO with parenthesis matching.
One of the problems of working from home -- no one to look over
your shoulder and start snickering.
Regards,
Steve Thompson

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.
Hmmm, I tried above string out (HILITE = REXX, Coloring = 2 (color program),
all other options marked with slash),
... but I see this inside a REXX program:
<color> <double quote char><what is shown by color in left><double quote char>
green "table_end"
yellow "="
reed "substr"
green/white "("
white "'x//* END Marker'"
green ",1,50,"
white "' '"
green/white ")"
(Your single quotes are also shown)
When Parentheses matching are marked with '/', those green parentheses are
turned white, else green.
What are your HILITE settings? Can you post them here before you do an ETR?
I believe your HILITE settings were turned off or changed by a edit macro.
Alternative, is that line INSIDE an IF, DO or a Function clauses?
Groete / Greetings
