DARRY,

I think this is a very difficult if not nearly impossible task. If ALL subroutine calls are STATIC calls this can be possible, but dynamic calls are near impossible. You would have to have a product that would execute each program in an interpreted mode and analyze each ?CALL? for every possible logic path, along with analyzing each subroutines calls.

Hi DARRY,

There is tool SEEC Application Manager (Analysis Tool) will give you the report for Main program and all its subprograms.

Above is true for all Static calls and for dynamic calls which have resolved in the program(I mean value of DATAITEM used for call is hardcoded in the program) as this tool is static analysis tool and is PC based tool.

To get the required report
1. First you need to download the Application Sources (Programs, copybooks, JCLs, etc)
2. All the sources should be captured with the tool (that is tool parses the source )
