Chapter 3: Making an Inventory

The tutorial in this chapter shows how to create a project and load the source files into the project database.

3.1 Overview

Before starting the year 2000 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.

The central component of SmartFind Plus is a project database containing a complete representation of an application's source code. The database represents not only the content of your application but also its structure. The first step is to create a project for your application and load its source files into the database.

When you create a project and load the source files, the files are parsed, and checked for inconsistencies, missing files, misnamed components and so on. For example, parsing might uncover references to other program source files and copy books, or file definitions, screen layouts, job control and so on. You need to check for missing files and add them if appropriate, so that the project database is complete and up to date.

When you create a project and load the source files, the files are parsed, checking for inconsistencies, COBOL syntax errors and so on. You need to fix these problems as appropriate, so that the database is accurate, complete and up to date before you start the year 2000 analysis itself.
