“intention is to prevent this from moving forward.” What are you observing that makes you say that? What is “this”?

I would like 32bit GnuCOBOL to be maintained. There is a lot of code on mainframes that are coded with redefined pointers and other idioms that are hard to convert to 64bit. Although 32bit on Linux is getting harder to do, you can still install 32bit libraries on a 64bit machine.

Thanks for the replies. All useful links and tools. The code base that I am tasked with looking at is in the 10s of millions of lines. I am looking for something that analyzes the code enmasse.

I would like to gather a list of tools that people have used to analyze the structure of a large base of COBOL code. I have never used them but I am tasked with evaluating existing tools and integrating them into OpenKIcks. What have you used? What are you aware of? Sample output.

This is a status report in case anyone wants to comment: I did not find anyone that knew the monarch syntax and had any idea about COBOL so we are trying to write this ourselves. All the samples I find are too simple to be useful. I used ChatGPT 4o and it actually came up with some code fragments that kinda worked and we could patch up.

All, I have turned off my payment of the World Wide GnuCOBOL user group on meetup. It will go lights out in October of 2024. If anyone else wants to take it over let me know and I will add you as an admin so you can add a payment method and keep it alive.

John, Wanna do a show and tell at an online meetup?

Thanks Simon. I am going to focus on the syntax-highlighting only solution as that looks like a good first start. Is this a good problem statement for what I am trying to do: Please take this file: https://github.com/nberth/superbol-studio-oss/blob/master/syntaxes/COBOL.tmLanguage.json and convert it to a Monarch language syntax definition On Sat, May 4, 2024 at 6:18 PM Simon Sobisch sf-mensch@users.sourceforge.net wrote: It all depends what you expect - only syntax highlighting?
