Tool for analyzing ABL code

Posted by Kai Siegele on 05-Dec-2016 05:33

Hallo,

our workmates programming in C# use a new tool named PMD. This tool analyzes the code and reports flaws like dead code, duplicate code etc. That’s nice, isn’t it?

Now I wish to have a similiar tool in ABL. Has anyone an idea if such a tool exists?

Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any further information.  I would be grateful for any help.

Kind regards

Riverside Software released a commercial plugin for SonarSource:

We’re using that since a while now and it’s very impressive. Source code flaws and unit-test coverage graphs.
 
Contact Gilles Querret (g.querret@riverside-software.fr) for details.

We used to have ProParse & ProLint as well, but I have no idea if they still work with the newer versions of Progress

A pretty current version of proparse is available here: github.com/.../proparse

Should work with all 11.6 syntax.

Gilles' SonarSource is based on proparse with a similar gammar set as well (among other sources).
