COBOL Source File Browser

The COBOL Source File Browser reads a COBOL source file and produces a fully browsable HTML equivalent with hyperlinked cross-references for all identifiers. Every identifier in the source code (public or local) acts as a link to its corresponding source definition and to all uses of that identifier anywhere in the file. This provides a convenient method for programmers to view the source code. It can help cut down the 50% of the time that programmers typically spend just looking at source code. It is also ideal for code reviews. Generating a browsable equivalent for every COBOL source file after each check-in and placing it on your intranet would make current sources easily available to developers and support engineers as online reference.

The Source Code Browser is a derivative of SD's family of Source Code Formatters. Inquire for custom features. Autoextraction of manually-inserted structured documenation comments can also be implemented, as well as autoextraction of data and subroutine declarations if not already present. Similar browsers can be constructed for other languages.
