The Outline view displays a tree structure of items defined in the current COBOL file to help navigate large files. When you click on any division-name, section-name, or paragraph-name in the Outline view, the COBOL editor sets the focus on that particular entity within the COBOL file.
To use the Outline view to navigate through a COBOL file, do the following:
Open a COBOL file in the COBOL editor.
Click Window > Show View > Other.
In the Show View dialog box, expand General and click Outline.
Click OK.
The Outline view is displayed. When you select a node in the Outline view, the corresponding line in the editor is selected.
Note: The Outline view refreshes when you perform an action, such as copy, paste, comment, or uncomment. Alternatively, click Refresh icon in the right-hand top corner of the Outline View.
