Rational Developer for System z provides an analysis engine
that developers can use to analyze their COBOL code early in the development
phase to ensure that they are following their internal guidelines,
best practices, coding standards.
Rational Programming
Patterns extends the Software Analyzer to provide analysis support
for design entities and specific code.
With the COBOL analysis provider, you can run analysis during COBOL code development against a set of selected rules, view results (list of items that break rules), and apply quick fix where appropriate.
The standard rules in Software Analyzer Configurations have been completed with Rational Programming Patterns rules:
Templates for rules specific to RPP are also on your disposal in the Preferences of Software Analyzer in order to create quality control rules that have parameters.
