Analysis Process

The analysis process analyzes a specified input data set that contains your REXX procedures and writes the output to a member in a preallocated analysis output data set. Each time analysis is run, a new member is created. The report generation process uses the information stored in the member to generate a REXX Analysis report.

You can analyze different REXX procedure data sets. An analysis member is created for each analyzed REXX procedure data set. You can perform different types of analysis on each REXX procedure data set.

You may need to reanalyze a procedure to account for different REXX procedure formats. There may be instances where your REXX procedure is not identified with a /* REXX*/ in the first line of the procedure, or you may be unsure of what procedures you have in your REXX procedure data set. You can use different Scan Types to identify what is, or is not, a REXX procedure. Only those procedures that pass scan processing are analyzed.
