What is the Code Splitter?

The Code Splitter is a Program Analyzer option that extracts source code from one compilable COBOL program to create two or more smaller compilable COBOL programs. The smaller programs provide the same functionality as the source program, but they are easier to maintain. For the Code Splitter to successfully split your source program into compilable programs, the source program must be compilable. (Some programs cannot be split because the logic paths are too tightly coupled to allow identification of splitting points.)

Tip

You can also use the Copy and Append commands to split programs. However, these commands do not attempt to create a compilable program. Be sure to check each new program and add the necessary code to make it compilable.


Note

 Code splitting is only available for COBOL programs.
