Re: Any IBM API or Program to do autodocumentation of all the source members

And AFAIK not a single product documents business rules in code - the documentation is already there - it’s called source code ;-)

There no such thing as a free lunch - so you have to work thru the source - even if tools can help to see “relations” between database tables, fields, programs - but not a single tool breaks it really down to a service-program-procedure level (at least not one we have seen).

But you can a lot by utilizing the IBM i SQL services - but it’s a lot of work to do yourself, if you don’t want to pay for something.

If you mean free of charge - no.

There are a number of for-fee packages ranging from Hawkeye to X-Analysis among others that do an excellent job.

Hi,
Is there any IBM supplied or customized API or any customized program or
any Extension,plugins etc. available there which could be utilized to
document all the business and technical validations and program logic
taking place inside all the source members automatically which are present
in IBM i in their specific source physical files and in their source
libraries?
And this documentation should be available to be downloaded in PDF ,text
file and word and ppt format.
Thanks
