This page is a central point
to review a structure of processed COBOL programs and perform some
modifications. It also allows generating documentation on processed COBOL
programs.This tree shows the generated programs and associated copy files. Click
on different subsections - e.g. WS / Linkage / FD to see a list of top-level
variables declared within the subsection. Click on the main program to see all
the variables defined. Click on the ‘Programs’ node to see a
flowchart of the program at the bottom-right hand side of this screen.Click
to any node that represents COBOL section to see a list of top-level variables
used within this section.
Create New
Module. Thisbutton
is helpful in breaking down of large programs into smaller ones. Under the
‘Programs’ node for the each generated programs you may see the
‘Default’ node. Initially it contains all COBOL sections contained
in the processed program. To break down your program into the smaller ones you
should firstly create a new module by pressing this button. Below the
‘Default’ node you’ll see a new node. Just drag those COBOL
sections that you want to place to a new module and drop it to the created
node. Then you may use the tree’s context menu (to view it, click on
desired node with right mouse button) to rename or delete a new node. Click on
the desired module to see a flowchart for it. All your modifications are stored
automatically.
Translate
Programs. This
button allows to re-process selected COBOL programs after some manual
modifications made on this page - like ignoring REDEFINES or breaking down a
program into smaller ones.
Overall
Connectivity. This button launches an
additional dialog, which shows ‘Overall Connectivity’ flowchart.
This flowchart reflects the connections between various COBOL programs being
processed. Overall connectivity data are persistent so you shouldn’t
process all programs in a project in one working session.
Clear Overall
Connectivity.
This button allows you to erase old overall
connectivity data. It is essential before starting with new project.
Refresh.
This button allows you to re-process the processed
programs to a stage that flowchart documentation can be produced. No output
files will be generated.
Generate
Documentation. This button creates
HTML documentation for the processed programs. This documentation is
template-based, so HTML Templates directory indicated in the Setup Screen (see
Directories Page)
should contain a valid content. For template details, please, see Readme.txt
file located in that directory.
All the 01 entries found in FD definitions, Working storage
definitions, … are listed in this section.
Double click on any of the listed fields to display an
expanded outline of the field or record.
You can re-adjust the redefinition of the sub-fields for
the entry from the Expand FD Screen. This type of
re-organization of COBOL REDEFINES variables is essential to successful
migration of some Cobol applications.
Note that after
modifications to any of the fields in the Expand FD Screen, all the currently selected Cobol Program modules need to be re-parsed.
- See Processing Page.
The List box contains 2 columns:
Slot/Record - List of all the entities found in the parsed programs. The entities listed are of the
following types:
 |
01 FD
Definition |
 |
01 WS
Definition |
 |
WS
Field Class |
 |
WS
Group Class |
 |
Date
Time Class |
Program names. This is the program where the entity was
found. Note that an FD item must have only one entry in this page. If the FD
entity has multiple entries - this implies that the system has not managed to
automatically converge the different description from the 'SELECT File ASSIGN
TO FD-FILE' Section. In such circumstances you can use the Data/Printer Files Page to correct the problem.
Show All
Variables. This button is very
helpful if more then one COBOL program were processed in a one go. Use this
button to see all top-level variables across all COBOL programs.
Expand and Map
the Fields. Use this button to
display an expanded outline of the field or record (see
Expand FD Screen).
List Procedures
for Variables. Use this button to see the
list of procedures, which use selected variable. This list will be generated on
fly and posted to the Log area (bottom of the window).
There are two flowchart panes: primary and secondary. On the primary
pane you can see a flowchart for the program node selected in the
Analysed Programs tree. Click on
desired flowchart box within the primary pane to see a secondary pane, which
shows interaction between paragraphs of an indicated section.
Edit Main
Flowchart. Use this button to
launch a flowchart editor for the main flowchart pane. With its help you can
modify a flowchart and then print this modification.
Edit Sub-section
Flowchart. Use this button to launch
a flowchart editor for the secondary flowchart pane. With its help you can
modify a flowchart and then print this modification.
Show Call Types.
When this button is pressed down all new generated
flowcharts will contain additional labels near connection lines.
Toggle ‘Is
Used’ Status. Those sections
within COBOL programs, which are assumed by COBOL Translation Toolkit as
unused, are shown in italic. To correct the assumption you should use this
button – a selected flowchart box will change its state.
Export to SVG.
Use this button to generate HTML and SVG documents for
main flowchart.
Export
Sub-section to SVG. Use this button to
generate HTML and SVG documents for sub-section flowchart.
