An empirical analysis of COBOL programs

This paper describes results obtained from a static analysis of 340 COBOL programs collected from commercial and industrial installations. The analysis was performed by a syntax analyser designed specifically to analyse source program statements, gather detailed information and produce a report on the definition and use of data and language in the programs analysed.
