Re: 4GL analysis tools in the market ~ Answered: amber (solid confidence) — Detailed, specific answer describing the Doc4gl tool's capabilities and offering to release a newer version, directly addressing the quoted original question about 4GL code analysis/flowchart tools.

Advisory only.

Doc4gl parses the 4gl code and insert some of the information on a database. Then you can use a JSP to dynamically navigate on that information or generate static html using a perl/tk utility. The information stored is: - 4gl Module names - Function names - Function comments (you can use javadoc style comments on 4gl) - Tables used - Forms used (Andrej addition) - Global variables used - Kind of values returned Doc4gl version available on aubit4gl is the most stable version. In the last year I have been working in separating the parser code from the store code (I now have a front_end, middle_end and back_end) and the doc4gl is just a different back_end. This work was made to support a 4gl to java2ee connector generating the beans corresponding to the 4gl functions. I can make an effort to free the new version. If you tell me what kind of diagram you need I can answer with the effort I need to do it.
