| Abstract | In 1997 the world-wide amount of Cobol code was estimated at 180
Gloc (1 Gloc = 1,000,000,000 lines of code), which was growing at a
rate of 5 Gloc a year. If this growth did not change in the past eight
years, it would mean that Cobol accounts for 220 Gloc world wide(!)
[2]. This in contrast to the amount of newly trained Cobol developers
which - according to [7] - is decreasing.
To cope with the vastly increasing amount of code that has to be
maintained by the shrinking group of Cobol developers and maintainers,
some measures have to be taken that enhance the maintainability of the
Cobol code. One possible approach to this is the reduction of global
variables. The transformations presented here can determine parameters
and local variables in existing Cobol code. |
