I don't know if this will be of any use at all....

Compuware (or Namic as they were also known by) used to sell a product
called XA-System which could be used to restructure spaghetti code in
to something resembling the structured code that JSP should have
produced (if you coded direct from the program structure diagrams
rather than using the pseudo-code stage). XA-System was expensive when
I came across it in the early 90s but the result was a work of art.

I did once meet Michael Jackson. He had sold off his interests in JSP
and JSD. I won't repeat what he said about JSD.

Thanks Alistair, no, it is not about restructuring "spagetti code", it
is about preprocessing JSP-COBOL code.

Looks like I'm not getting any hints, thanks anyway.
