We use a tool called Abstract by Advanced Systems Concepts. It will do what you want.

hawkeye also has a flowcharting tool. but any flowcharting tool that extracts from program source's output will be sucky FWIW.

You'll have to bear in mind the time difference, for the people your asking a question of. It may be 10am when you posted your earlier post but, that means it was 2am where I am and somewhere between 8pm and 11pm in the US


Try googling the items suggested, you may find the links somewhere.

If you don't have the ASC or Hawkeye product, your out of luck.

Do you want the code to be indented? If so, convert to rpgle, and when you compile you can specifiy the indentation. Or if you have WDS you can see the code indented. Or search for my post that will show you indented code.


Abstract is not free, neither is Hawkeye. Some change management software will also do this for you as well. They aren't free either.

So there are tools, just not for free.

But I think a pencil and paper could be provided by your company at a very low price.

Sorry, feeling skippy on a friday

ghost,

Here is the link for Abstact. As others have stated, it is NOT free. I also noticed there is no download link. This is information only.

you can specify an indent character with plain ol' OPM RPG as well. INDENT(|)

Tom, I know thanks. Just wanted to encourage the use of RPGIV and show how easily it is to use it instead.
