I remember when I started my second job (working for a company that produced now obsolete trade directories that had pages coloured yellow!) we had a routine in COBOL called IB35 which was maintained by one individual and we all hated it when he was on leave as nobody had any idea how it worked but it was responsible for all the free entires in the book. We'd draw lots to see who got the short straw of having to make changes to it. I feel Bending Spoon's pain!
COBOL! I think folks are earning a fortune writing that as there's only like two people left who know about it and their retired!! Some banking systems still rely on it. Very reliable!
I remember writing and debugging COBOL programs running on mainframe for a well-known motoring organisation 🤣 Those were the days when the mainframe had less power/storage than my phone has today 🤣🤣 Yes I am that old 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been avoiding using the quote block like the plague, just because of the ”neverending” issue, that was driving me bonkers! Now I might actually find it useful again.

Sorry Vlad, must have been the pre-coffee fug of the morning.

Yup. Already easier to get out of it if you use the image transcription. I think its also easier to start below any element now as well.
