Producing structured flowcharts from COBOL source code?

[JasonRigby]

I have inherited a number of COBOL programs with no documentation for them. I have found a tool on the web (Powerstructure) which can take ANSI COBOL source and from this produce detailed structure flowcharts, BUT, it costs a few hundred dollars, and there's no available demo to check it out.

Does anyone know of a similar utility/tool which can do this, and is available as freeware or in demo form?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

nope sorry. i think big bucks are the order of the day. although i did notice that you can buy an older version of powerstructure for about 70 bucks. maybe that is more reasonable.

Most software houses do have evaluation versions of their products for those who request them. They wouldn't make much money otherwise. Have you tried contacting the softwares' vendor yet to see what is on offer??
