Does Enterprise Anaylzer support analysis of Pro*COBOL code ?

Yes it does. There are some workspace settings that you should apply before importing the source code into EA.

-          Cobol Dialect, as normal set to reflect your host system. If it Unix, then you probably want to set it to Micro Focus.

-          Registered Cobol source file extensions. You want to add .pco to the list of extensions so that the source files are recognised by EA.

-          Enable the option Workspace -> Verification -> Settings -> Cobol File -> Embedded SQL -> Enable extended ASCII characters in SQL identifiers. This allows national characters to used in the SQL statements

-          Enable the option Workspace Options > Verification > Legacy Dialect > SQL > SQL Dialect is set to ANSI SQL-92. The other SQL options are for DB/2.

There have been various RPI’s raised to improve the support for Oracle syntax so it is best to ensure that the latest Hot Fix has been applied to your environment before registering the code.
