COBOL code analysis for the programs that run your business

SMART TS XL reads every COBOL program, copybook and job, maps how they depend on each other, and flags the code that makes change risky. Understand a legacy program in minutes, see the impact of a change before you make it, and modernize with facts instead of guesswork.

SMART TS XL for COBOL code analysis

Ved brug af SMART TS XL for COBOL code analysis significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of managing legacy systems. Its comprehensive impact analysis helps developers understand the intricate relationships and map the dependencies within COBOL programs.

Advanced static analysis identifies potential issues, inefficiencies and vulnerabilities in the code, so problems are resolved before they reach production. Detailed visualizations and robust reporting turn that analysis into clear, actionable insight, so code changes do not introduce new errors or regressions.

By automating much of the analysis, SMART TS XL reducerer manuel indsats and frees teams for higher-value work: faster development cycles, better code quality and stronger system performance. For organizations that rely on COBOL, it is an indispensable tool for maintaining and modernizing critical applications.

HVAD DU FÅR

Hvad SMART TS XL gives COBOL teams

Map every dependency

See which programs, copybooks, jobs, files and tables a COBOL program touches, and what touches it.

Konsekvensanalyse før forandring

Follow a field or paragraph through every program that uses it, so a change never surprises production.

Find issues early

Spot dead paragraphs, GO TO tangles, deep nesting and risky logic before they turn into incidents.

Complexity you can plan with

Cyclomatic complexity, program length and GO TO counts for every program, so estimates rest on facts.

Flowcharts that explain code

Interactive flowcharts tied to the original source make unfamiliar COBOL programs readable in minutes.

Keep knowledge in-house

New developers get productive on legacy COBOL quickly, even after the original experts retire.

ILLUSTRATIVE SPØRGSMÅL OG RESULTATER

I DYBDE

Built for the way COBOL systems really work

Copybooks and data fields

Trace a field from its copybook definition through every program that moves, computes or tests it, including redefinitions, so data changes are sized correctly.

Program-til-program-kald

See static and dynamic CALLs, PERFORM chains and shared modules, so you know exactly what a change to one program can reach.

JCL and batch flow

Connect COBOL programs to the jobs, steps and datasets that run them, and expand JCL to see the real production flow.

Files and SQL

Identify which files and tables each program reads and writes, including embedded SQL, for accurate impact and migration planning.

Dead code and risk

Find paragraphs that are never performed, GO TO tangles and deeply nested logic, and retire or refactor them with confidence.

Ready for modernization

Whether you refactor, rehost or rewrite, start with a complete, measured inventory of your COBOL portfolio and its dependencies.

Questions about COBOL code analysis

What COBOL assets does SMART TS XL analysere?

COBOL programs and copybooks together with the JCL, SQL and other assets around them, so references between programs, jobs, files and tables are kept. Mainframe and distributed code can be analyzed side by side.

Does the analysis run on the mainframe?

Nej. SMART TS XL runs on your own application server with a SQL Server repository. Source is copied in through FTP, NDM or version-control connectors, so analysis does not use mainframe cycles.

Can our AI assistant analyze our COBOL?

Yes. ASK AI works inside SMART TS XL, and the MCP Connector lets ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini or Grok query your indexed COBOL directly. Access is read-only and follows the same permissions your people have.

See COBOL code analysis on your own code.

In a live session we load a sample of your portfolio and analyze your COBOL in the web interface and through the AI assistant you already use.
