pygments-ibm-cobol-lexer 1.2

=============================================
Cobol IBM Mainframe syntax lexer for Pygments
=============================================
**This package contains a Pygments Lexer for mainframe cobol.**

**The lexer parses the Enterprise Cobol dialect (V3R4) for z/OS, including utilizing embedded Db2/Sql, Cics and DLi**

mainframe cobol coding form
===========================
Many early programming languages, including PL/1, Fortran, Cobol and the various IBM assembler languages,
used only the first 7-72 columns of a 80-column card

+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Columns | |
+==========+==========================================================================+
| 1- 6 |Tags, Remarks or Sequence numbers identifying pages or lines of a program |
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 7 | - ``*`` (asterisk) designates entire line as comment |
| | - ``/`` (slash) forces page break when printing source listing |
| | - ``-`` (dash) to indicate continuation of nonnumeric literal |
| | - ``D`` to indicate debug line cobol statements |
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 8 - 72 |COBOL program statements, divided into two areas : |
| | - Area A : columns 8 to 11 |
| | - Area B : columns 12 to 72 |
+----------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 73 - 80 | Tags, Remarks or Sequence numbers (often garbage...) |
+----------+------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+

Division, section and paragraph-names must all begin in Area A and end with a period.

``CBL/PROCESS`` directives statement can start in columns 1 through 70

Installation
============
The lexer is available as a Pip package:

``$ sudo pip install pygments_ibm_cobol_lexer``

Or using easy_install:

``$ sudo easy_install pygments_ibm_cobol_lexer``

Usage
=====
After installation the ibmcobol Lexer and ibmcobol Style automatically registers itself for files with the ".cbl" extensions.

Therefore, cmdline usage is easy:
+ Ascii input :

``pygmentize -O full,style=ibmcobol,encoding=latin1 -o HORREUR.html HORREUR.ascii.cbl``

+ Ebcdic input (in this case it's necessary to specify outencoding value):

``pygmentize -O full,style=ibmcobol,encoding=cp1147,outencoding=latin1 -o COB001.html COB001.cp1147.cbl``

Or as library usage:

::

from pygments import highlight
from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
from pygments_ibm_cobol_lexer import IBMCOBOLLexer, IBMCOBOLStyle
my_code = open("cobol_ebcdic.cbl",'rb').read()
highlight(my_code,IBMCOBOLLexer(encoding='cp1140'),
HtmlFormatter(style=IBMCOBOLStyle, full=True),
open('test.html','w'))

About cp1147
============
I have files coded IBM1147 (EBCDIC french + euro sign), I was forced to write my own codec ``cp1147``, very close to the ``cp500`` (Canada, Belgium), it diverges on the characters "@\°{}§ùµ£à[€`¨#]~éè¦ç" :

This codec is available as a Pip package:

``$ sudo pip install cp1147``

Changelog
=========
1.2 - (2013-11-25)
- reordering variable,number,operator regex in cics/dli/sql
- Tokenize cobol special-register
- codec module cp1147 removed
- change in DB2 and COBOL keywords
- if encoding is in ('cp037','cp297','cp1140','cp1047','cp1147','cp500'), it's managed as 'latin-1'

1.1 - (2012-11-19)
Minor Fix + EBCDIC enhancements:

- Fix : float regex detection before integer detection
- Add inline-commentaire ``*>`` (not the IBM default)
- Change cics/dli keywords color...
- Extend CICS_KEYWORDS, remove EJECT/SKIP from COBOL_KEYWORDS (treated as comments)
- each ASCII input lines is padded to 80 columns
- Add EBCDIC features:

* add my own french codec cp1147
* if EBCDIC encoding is passed (cp500,cp1140,...) or detected,convert the binary input raw text in 80 columns fixed lines
* ``encoding=chardet`` (slowly) does not detect EBCDIC chart,it's override with ``encoding=guess``
* "guess EBCDIC" is defaulted to ``self.encoding='cp500'``

1.0 - (2012-11-12)
Initial release.
