Topaz Workbench Program Analysis

Welcome to Program Analysis

Topaz Workbench Program Analysis is an Eclipse plug-in you can use to create, view, manipulate, export, and print graphical representations of COBOL and PL/I program structure. The logic flow of each procedure or paragraph and the data flow for a selected field can also be viewed. The hierarchical relationships among copybooks and programs in a Compuware mainframe project can also be shown.

The Program Analysis plug-in includes the Program Analysis perspective for working with program structure, logic flow, data flow, and program and copybook hierarchies.

Program analysis is initiated from a Topaz COBOL Editor or Topaz PL/I Editor session and opens a chart of the program's structure. A logic flow chart for a selected procedure can then be invoked from that program structure chart. A data flow chart can be invoked by clicking a field in the editor or entering it in a text box. Another chart filters out complexity by presenting only the selected structure chart node, its callers (parents), and callees (children). Analyzing an online mainframe project in Project Explorer enables you to view that project's hierarchy of program calls and copybook references.
