file.cobra(11): error: twice in error messages.

[Charles]

I still don't see why it would be done only for parser errors.

[hopscc]

You're right, it should be done for all errors.
Presumably its not currently because the others dont have ready to hand token info and so dont/cant display the col info.

The answer isnt to remove it from the errors that do have the info but to add it to the remainder (eventually, if possible).
