CA Automated Code Structuring for COBOL

The architecture of CA Automated Code Structuring for COBOL consists of several key components. The primary component is the COBOL Code Parser, which analyzes the COBOL source code. The parser reads the input COBOL files and breaks them down into their constituent elements.

The second component is the Restructuring Engine, which applies the restructuring rules defined in the configuration files. This engine modifies the code based on these rules. The third component is the Report Generator, which creates reports detailing the changes made to the code.

These reports provide insights into the restructuring process. The components communicate through a series of internal processes. The COBOL Code Parser feeds the parsed code to the Restructuring Engine.

The Restructuring Engine then applies the rules and passes the modified code to the Report Generator. The tool does not use any external databases or storage mechanisms. All data processing occurs in memory.

The tool operates on the z/OS platform and does not have any specific port or network requirements. The tool is accessed through the command-line interface (CLI). The CLI interacts directly with the core components to perform the analysis and restructuring tasks.

However, the product is no longer supported. Consider alternative solutions such as Micro Focus Enterprise Analyzer or IBM Rational COBOL Runtime Environment for similar capabilities and modern features.
