AD - Representing DL1 call graph/DB's in different annotation.

If common DL-1 service module “pgm-x’ having CBLTDLI is called by ‘pgm-1’ , ‘pgm-2’, ‘pgm-3’ for several business reasons, finally at the end AD generates 3 different call arrows towards different databases for same physical call in the service module “pgm-x”. Logically this representation seems right as per existing algorithm. However from developer aspect it looks bit weird, as a result their analysis inference might go wrong.

Therefore for the benefit of end users, there is a possibility to add call graph arrows in different colour to alert users to cross verify all the nested program flows and procedure division clause, it would be hint for them to back tracing everything from down above.

In brief:

1) If DL1 service module is called by standalone one driver then the existing call graph arrows in yellow can stay as is (no change)

2) When common DL1 service module is called by several drivers from different levels of call chains, then we expect AD to represent same call graph arrows in different colour code (1st call arrow in red, 2nd call arrow in pink .. and so on).

Existing PMR case TS013584339/discussion threads can be referred.
