TIMES

Presents a list of program statistics. This consists of the following information:
Lines of Source Total number of source lines
Lines of Code Lines of Procedure Division code
Comment Lines Number of comments (both * in column 7 and end of line comments "*>")
Text Comments Number of comments containing at least character A-Z, a-z, or 0-9. This generally provides a better indication of the number of meaningful comments in a program
Comment Ratio Number of text comments for every 100 source lines
Section Number of section-names
Statements Total number of COBOL statements
Paragraphs Number of paragraph-names
Files Number of files (FDs)
Data Items Number of data items
Conditions Number of conditions (level-88 items)
Screen-names Number of screen-names (Screen Section syntax)
Report Number of report-names (Report Writer syntax)
Constant Number of level-78 items
Call (by name) Number of call-by-name subprograms used
Call (by number) Number of call-by-number routines used
Call (data item) Number of data items used as called subprogram-names
Verb counts Number of verbs for each type of statement, including the number of statements for each type of group (for example, Program Exits, Arithmetic)
Arithmetic Total number of all ADD, COMPUTE, DIVIDE, MULTIPLY, SUBTRACT statements in the code.
Maximum Nesting Maximum nesting level of in-line constructs; such as IF, EVALUATE, in-line PERFORM
Overlapping Performs Number of paragraphs/sections that lie in more than one PERFORM...THRU range
Program Volume An assessment of the number of operators and operands in the program. It is calculated as (N1 + N2) LOG2 (n1 + n2)

where the parameters are:

N1
Total number of statements
N2
Number of references to all identifier-names
n1
Number of unique verb types
n2
Number of identifier-names
Total Data Data size of .int code
INT Code Procedure size of .int code (root segment only)
Linkage 01s Level-01 items in the Linkage Section

Comments:

The values of these statistics might not be strictly accurate for those programs compiled with an integrated preprocessor, and can vary slightly depending on the COBOL language dialect specified when you syntax-checked your program.
