Using Tool Windows

When you open a COBOL Analyzer tool, the window for the tool appears above the product main window. Simply move the tool window if you want to work in the main window again. A tool window’s state is saved across sessions. Close a tool window by clicking the button in the upper righthand corner.

Tool windows are modeless: in principle, you can open as many tool windows as you want. In practice, COBOL Analyzer will prompt you to close an “unprotected” tool window if the activity you want to perform could result in a repository change. An unprotected tool window cannot be updated to reflect a concurrent repository change.

In tool windows with lists, you can select all, select multiple, size columns, and sort by column.
