Cobol tabs are not active

[egkareem]

Hello
I use VS Code with this extension. The tabs are always 4 spaces. Any settings I enter are not honored.
I made usre my source file extension is one of the listed extensions, eg: *.cbl

I also can't see the verticl guides at default COBOL columns.

I am using V 1.0.9

Please help.

Hello @egkareem ! Thanks for opening this issue.

Could you take me more informations to better understand your problem?

I would like to see what's the main problem.

Hi
Thanks for your interest in my question.
Pardon my earlier description.

1. I see no colorization when the extension is active
2. When cursor is placed at column 1 of some blank line, I press tab, I expect to go to the following sequence of columns; 7,8.12,72. This is not happening.
3. The vertical guide lines are simply equally spaced, I think they should be at 7,8,12,16,20,..,72

To configure those tabstops, use rech.editor.cobol.tabstops

rech-editor-cobol/package.json

Lines 47 to 69 in 4ee5010

	"rech.editor.cobol.tabstops": {
	"type": "array",
	"items": {
	"type": "number",
	"title": "tabstops",
	"properties": {
	"tabstop": {
	"type": "number",
	"description": "tabstop"
	}
	}
	},
	"default": [
	0,
	7,
	11,
	19,
	29,
	34,
	50
	],
	"description": "COBOL tabstops"
	},

I'm just not sure if those are always used or only with the commands...
