33.2.2.2 Product Details

∙Performs a static analysis of VSE libraries.

−Libraries not required can be excluded

−Creates a central repository (database) of PHASE related information, such as, phase name and usage tally.

∙Monitors the execution of batch jobs marking the phases as ′active′ and logging phase, job and file (for example, data set) cross-referencing information.

∙Functions available through batch job submission:

−Flag phases as ′Y2K READY′, including the facility to remove this setting.

−Scanning of COBOL source code for date related information

-Output is divided into four reports:

∙REPORT 1 - Suspect Verb analysis (looks for date suspect COBOL verbs, for example ceedate..)

∙REPORT 2 - Suspect Variable Analysis (looks for common variables used as date fields, for example, 9(6), and X(6))

∙REPORT 3 - Suspect Variable Scan (scan for USAGE of variables identified in reports 1 and 2)

∙REPORT 4 - Generic Search Results (uses a software supplied table of character strings and returns matching lines of code) User-supplied variable names can be included or excluded from the reports as required.

-Opti-analyzer -- generates an analysis of a batch phase. It identifies each module called, providing a statistical break-down of all supervisor calls. Specific date-related calls such as GETIME (SVC 34) can be identified.
