So being in the legacy world for 20+ years and working with ancient
cobol/rpg code that a single pgm can span 10k+ lines of code, I still have
not found an efficient way to answer clients requests of "how is the data
arrived at in this table/column?" Aside from a whole lot of time, effort
and grunt work.

How do others handle these requests?
