R?gle d'identification des cas de manipulation de donn?es via (position:longueur) Rule of identification of data manipulation cases via (position: length)

Des développeurs cèdent à la facilité de tester et manipuler des données (y compris en table DB2) via des "rubrique(position : longueur)". Il faudrait une règle valable en COBOL natif comme en COBOL issu de RPP pour pouvoir repérer ces cas.

Vue "Structure du code généré" : cocher par défaut "supprimer également ses dépendant"

Vue "Structure du code généré" : supprimer plusieurs sous-fonctions en une seule action

Supprimer plusieurs sous-fonctions en une seule action permet de gagner du temps de développement, en particulier en cas de positionnement relatif (anciens *A * P * R) car la suppression entraîne la regénération du programme : dix sous-fonctions à...
