Abstract: COBOL CROSS REFERENCE is a COBOL program that reads the file created from the directory/out=TEMP1:SRDCOBOL.DAT command. This file directs the program to read the COBOL files in a directory assign to "COB:". All COBOL programs are scanned for file names in the SELECT statements and for the use of the COPY verb.

Following is a brief summary of highlights:

• SECTION A PROGRAMS WITH ASSOCIATED FILE NAMES. Each COBOL program is listed with all the file names used by the program. This allows a quick review of the program files without access to the COBOL source.
• SECTION D FILE NAMES -- CROSS REFERENCE Each file found in the COBOL programs is arranged alphabetically in this cross reference section. This is a very quick reference to which user programs have access to specific data files.
• SECTION Y COPY VERB USES -- CROSS REFERENCE Each COPY verb use is listed in alphabetic sequence with a cross reference to the program.

The only requirements for this program are the three assignments for data areas:

• COB: COBOL SOURCE AREA INPUT
• TEMP1: DIRECTORY/OUT=TEMP1:SRDCOBOL.DAT FILE AREA
• RPT: REPORT OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT

By limiting the directory/out option file enables you to look at only specific systems for cross referencing. Example: Cross reference ap* programs only $ directory/out=temp1:srdcobol.dat cob:ap*.cob $ run COBOL_CROSS_REFERENCE.
