Features

LIMITED USE CASE.

Created with the intended use of updating sequence numbers in COBOL sources in the first 6 positions of each line.

This will inspect the source for line numbers in the first 6 positions of each line. It will determine if a number exists and if it is greater than the line before it.
- If it is, it will conitnue on to the next line. - If it is not, it will update the sequence number to the next iteration based on the increment number provided by the user (default = 2)
