Code Analysis

Code analysis helps you understand and optimize your COBOL applications. Visual COBOL offers the following types of analysis:

Rules-based analysis

Visual COBOL provides a variety of analysis queries (rules) that you can execute on individual COBOL programs or on an entire project to gain statistics to help improve the productivity.

Restriction: Rule-based analysis is only available for native COBOL projects on Windows platforms only.

COBOL Source Information

COBOL Source Information (CSI) provides a quick and easy way of providing you with information about your program when you are working on it. You enter a query in the CSI query control and CSI returns the results of the query in the Micro Focus Code Analysis window.

Restriction: COBOL Source Information (CSI) is only supported for native COBOL.
