Hi Eric,
This was done on just a single COBOL source member but this program controls 5 screens and does a huge amount of record processing too. Hence why we need to redevelop it into a number of smaller, more maintainable programs. I am just struggling to understand the current functionality.

At a high-level, nodes would be something that is 'callable' and connections are 'calls'. In the Outline, there is a overview of the view which lets you zoom in on a section.
Did you do this on a program object? Have you tried a single COBOL source member?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Edmund,
Thanks for taking an interest.
I have generated an Application Diagram for the program in question but when I expand the internal structure of the program (as opposed to the external references) I get a message saying the source contains 335 nodes (whatever a node is) and 1098 connections (whatever they are). When I allow it to continue I get this massive, completely unreadable, structure that I have not found a way of simplifying so I can actually try to use it.
Do you have any links to demos or tutorials for this aspect of RDi?
Best regards,

Hi Mark,
I assume that you are already familiar with the 'Visualize Application Diagram' action on a COBOL member.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for finding the time to reply to this.
Do you know if there are any plans to make it available? I am going to be embarking on a complete rewrite of one of our most complicated programs and any tools I can find to help me understand to current functionality would be very helpful.
If anyone else knows of any Cobol tools that aid the visualisation/navigation of massive Cobol programs I'd appreciate a heads up.

Hi Mark,
When the enhancement was done for the COBOL Outline view in 8.5.1, it was
done by refactoring some of the AIX COBOL tools to work for IBM i as well.
Clearly there are some plugin dependencies that are bringing in this view
as well. Currently this view is not usable for IBM i.

Hi,
I was exploring the new RDi 9 and found a view under COBOL called Perform
Hierarchy but can't work out how to use it.
Has anyone used this function or knows how to use it?
