Wow, my mailbox floweth over :-) The answer to the #1 question I've received thus far is this... Source-TRAK will scan your 4GL code and store lots of neat little pieces of information in a database. You can then run reports against this database that do the following: List every function in a program and the functions it calls List every function in a program and the functions that call it List all global variables in a program List all table accesses in a program List all objects in a program (cursors, variables, functions, etc.) All of these reports provide the module name and line number also. I even wrote an ACE report that will show me all programs that would be affected by a change to a single table. Source-TRAK also includes a 4gltags program, a 4GL lint program, and a 4GL beautifier that handles indentation! Now for the company info... BreakAway Technology P.O.
