Has anyone used the xref compile feature to load into a database to show programs that access/update db fields?
We have an application (8.2c/SCO Unix) that will be re-written and I wanted to read in the source to a database that stored the basics: Table/ Field names, search / update / access functions, maybe even store the math/boolean operations.
Then I saw the output from xref compile. Looks pretty much like a good start, but I'm not sure how to translate all of it. I have the online / hard copy docs but I don't see a breakdown of the specifics.
That way, we could get a 'head-start' by saving some of the 'useful' business logic; and then convert this up into some 'design' documents.
It's all got to be re-typed anyway in whatever language is decided upon.
Thanks
