This chapter introduces the tutorials, which comprise the remainder of
this book.
These tutorials assume you're familiar with COBOL and the issues related
to processing euros, but that you've never seen EuroSmart or any other
Micro Focus software before. They also assume you have only a basic
knowledge of using Windows 95 or Windows NT V4.0, which are
almost identical to use.
These tutorials are interdependent and together form a tour of
EuroSmart. You need to follow these tutorials in sequence, although you
can stop in between tutorials.
The tutorials demonstrate how to use EuroSmart to analyze an
application's monetary aspects to understand processing euros. Together
they demonstrate the key analysis steps in a set of sample programs.
There are five tutorials, each in a separate chapter. They cover:
- Loading a project - Before starting any analysis you need to carry
out an inventory of all the COBOL source, copyfiles, BMS files, JCL
files and so on that comprise the application. In this tutorial, you
create a project for the demonstration application and load its source
files into a Revolve database. You then investigate and fix some of the
parsing problems.
- Finding potential monetary elements using the analysis tools - Each
analysis tool produces a set of results based on one attribute, such as
the format of a data item, its value, its usage and so on. In this
tutorial, you produce a set of potentially monetary data items based on
their PICTURE format. You explore the Set View and examine its contents.
You then go on to refine this set by running it through several other
analysis tools.
- Populating the worksheet with result sets - The worksheet is the
central store for your analysis details and you use it to manage and
track your work. In this tutorial, you add the several sets to the
worksheet. You explore the worksheet and then add some statements and
some data file information to the worksheet. Finally you produce some
interim reports on the information in the worksheet.
- Customizing the analysis tools - There are a number of ways to
customize the analysis tools, so that they behave in ways relevant to
your application or your organization. In this tutorial, you customize
the default criteria that the tools use when searching, and you create a
composite tool to automatically reproduce the same set you created
manually in the preceding tutorial.
- Finalizing the analysis - The target for this euro analysis is for
all the monetary points of interest to be captured in the worksheet and
for each entry to be assigned definite categories. In this tutorial you
use some more analysis tools, update the categories, and produce some
reports on the worksheet.
