Understanding COBOL Programs with COBOL Toolkit

COBOL Toolkit is designed to help analyze and understand legacy COBOL programs, leading to improved development efficiency. It achieves this through powerful visualization, enhanced code understanding features, and a focus on security and efficiency.

COBOL Toolkit excels at visualizing complex COBOL programs, making it easier to understand their intricacies. Key features include:

Interactive Features

COBOL Toolkit offers interactive features that bring business logic documents and flowcharts to life through hyperlinks. This creates a powerful connection between documentation and implementation.
This allows users to:

  • Click a step in a business logic document to jump to the corresponding section in a flowchart.
  • In a business logic document click to instantly navigate to a section or a paragraph.
  • In a flowchart click to jump to a paragraph or to open the flowchart of a section.

Visualizing Code

  • Program/Section-level Flowchart Generation: Creates visual flowcharts that clearly represent program logic.
  • Control Flow Tree Generation: Visualizes the flow of control within the program, highlighting decision points and execution paths.

Beyond visualization, COBOL Toolkit provides deeper insights into code functionality and dependencies. These features promote knowledge transfer by:

  • Enabling developers to quickly understand existing COBOL systems.
  • Accelerating onboarding for new team members.

COBOL Toolkit offers a comprehensive suite of tools for COBOL developers to analyze, understand, and maintain their code more effectively. Its visualization capabilities, advanced analysis features, and focus on security and efficiency make it a valuable asset for organizations relying on COBOL applications.
COBOL Toolkit prioritizes security and efficiency through its on-premise deployment model. This ensures sensitive data remains protected within your own infrastructure, mitigating risks associated with cloud-based solutions.
