Hi, Does Crucible help in Peer Code Review of COBOL Code?

[Diana Jenosh]

Hi,

Understand that Crucible is a tool for Collaborative Peer Code Reviews.

Can it be used for COBOL and other mainframe languages Code reviews?

Thanks,

Diana

Hi @Diana Jenosh,

As COBOL source code is written in textual files, you can surely review them using Crucible.

Please let us know if you need any further clarifications.

Many Thanks @Felipe Kraemer for your reply. I assumed so, but was thinking loud to check if any known issues are there.

But, doesn't it need to take the Syntax/ grammar at all? Atleast to highlight, keywords, constants, variables etc.?

Hi @Diana Jenosh,

If by any chance the syntax is not highlighted automatically, please have a look at these documents:

• Configure syntax highlighting for non standard file extensions
• Defining your own syntax highlighting in Crucible or Fisheye

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Felipe
