Issue/Introduction

When editing or retrieving Cobol element using VSCode Explorer for Endevor extension, there is no file extension on the file name, and could not benefit from the Cobol LS syntax highlighting feature.

Environment

VSCode
EXPLORER FOR ENDEVOR

Resolution

Explorer for Endevor does not add file extension, if FILE EXT is blank in the COBOL Type definition, retrieve/edit of the COBOL element in VSCode Explorer for Endevor will show no file extension.

The solution is to update the COBOL Type definition in Endevor and add either "cbl" or "cob"  to FILE EXT.  COBOL Language Support recognizes files with the extensions .cob and .cbl as COBOL files.
