Call hierarchy

[Joel W Winston]

All,

Is there any tool available to find out the call hierarchy in Progress / OE code?

Any options in compilation like XREF would do this?

Please let me know.

Thanks
Joel

What are you trying to achieve?

If you're after what I think you are, then look at the PROGRAM-NAME() function.

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to find / understand the flow of the program. So currently I am using the text search (search the procedure-name) to find the flow and so was curious if there was any easier way to find the flow without executing the code.

Thanks
Joel

Ah ok I see - I'm not aware of any such tools. Somone else may be able to help though...

There are such tools. Look at http://www.joanju.com/

Things can, of course, get hairy when calls are dynamic rather than static

Thanks much Tom.

Analyst will automatically resolve a number of types of dynamic calls. E.g., if you run ip in handle, it will trace back the execution path to identify all of the possible values of what handle can be pointing at. For other kinds of dynamic calls, like run value() from a DB field, e.g., a menu, there is a structure for providing "hints" which will allow Analyst to resolve the calls. Look at the video to see the way you can access this.

Like I said -- "hairy".

Has anyone tried a hand @ Pro4m ?
Analyst V/s Pro4m - which one do you think is a better source code analyzer ?

You can look on this tool (win32) http://www.progresstalk.com/showthread.php?114229
It show you some calls from code and it work also in other direction - try search where was source called.
