ABSTRACT:
The boundaries of a desired procedure in source code are determined even if there are an unequal number of begin and end procedure instructions due to conditional compilation or other programming instructions. In addition, the comments associated with a desired procedure, including those comments separated from the procedure by multiple blank instructions, are determined. The desired procedure, with correct boundaries and associated comments, is displayed in a procedural view for a user. Displaying procedures in a procedural view makes the creation, development and debugging of computer software, which is divided into multiple procedures, easier and more efficient. In addition, an accurate procedural view of software also helps reduce overall software development and maintenance costs.
