The Extension should be used for Mainframe COBOL and Assembler language. The extension has been developed to parse the Assembler Program and create the link with ASM program or COBOL program called. The Extension implements customer metrics using CAST Universal Analyzer.
The table below indicates the current version of the Extension and history of versions.
