RE: Complexity of RPG/RPGILE program

If you just want some rough estimates you might try something like assigning a 
length of time any screen changes, a different length of time to database 
changes, etc.  Add to that a general factor for complexity of the program 
(purely subjective).  When you get the results you can adjust them up or down 
depending on your general feel for the situation.

This isn't real precise but it can give you a ballpark idea.

Subject: Complexity of RPG/RPGILE program


Hi,

I need to decide the complexity (Low/High/Medium) of no. of RPG/RPGILE
programs.
Please help me deciding What all factors needs to be considered for this.

Right now, I only have the source codes with me and I am trying to decide
the complexity on the basis of "if customization is to be done for some
code, how much time will it take to? ( right from analysis of pgm, getting
the functionality of code etc. )".
Is it really a right way to do this ?

Please Guide.


Thanks and Regards,
Gauri Kulkarni.
