Configure the Data Flow Preferences

Colors
Configure the colors for duplicate node selection and out-of-date nodes.
Relationships (Intra-Program)
Select the type of intra-program relationships that you want to be included in the data flow analysis:
MOVE A TO B (move)
A data item moved to a data item of the same type.
MOVE A TO B with data conversion (cast)
A data item moved to a data item of a different type.
STRING A ... INTO B (comp)
An arbitrary computation. The result is produced by applying complex rules to the argument, such as STRING.
ADD A TO B, et al (comp+)
An addition-like operation: ADD, SUBTRACT, or corresponding parts of COMPUTE.
MULTIPLY A BY B, et al (comp*)
A multiplication-like operation: MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, or corresponding parts of COMPUTE.
MOVE ARRAY (IDX) TO A (comp@)
An operation with array elements.
IF A = B ... (cond)
Comparison of data items with a symmetric relationship.
IF A * X = B ... (cond*)
Comparison of a multiple of a data item with another data item.
IF A = 1 ... (const.cond)
Comparison of a data item with a constant.
MOVE 1 TO B (const.move)
A constant moved into a data item.
ADD 1 TO B (const.move)
An arithmetic operation with constants.
03 A ... VALUE 1 (const.init)
A data item initialized by a constant.
Relationships (Inter-Program)
Select the type of inter-program relationships that you want to be included in the data flow analysis:
Calls
A parameter passed in a call to another program.
Screens
Data sent to a screen by one program and received in a screen by another.
Screen definitions
Data flow in screen fields when Screens is selected.
Files
Data communication via files. Traced only when corresponding JCL, ECL, FCT, or CSD files are verified.
Files in jobs
Data flow in JCL datasets when Files is selected.
Network records
For Unisys 2200 Cobol, data communication via network records.
Common Area Transitions
For Unisys 2200 Cobol, a common-storage data area item passed in a call to another program.
Database tables
For Unisys 2200 Cobol, data communication via Unisys DMS database records.
Processing
Select these options if you want to trace self-dependencies and/or controlled conditions.
Graph
  • Visualization - check Use curved edges if you want the connecting lines in the Data Flow Graph to have curved edges.
  • Complexity - set your preferences for a maximum "move" and "usage" node depth.
  • Colors - specify your preferences for the colors of the graph.
