Abstract
A apparatus and method for cross-referencing routines in software is implemented. Declarations in the software program are searched for routine declarations. For each routine declaration found, an entry in a first table in a database is generated and a routine identifier for the routine entered. In response to each identifier entered, the routines corresponding thereto are searched for calls to other routines. For each call, entry in a second table is generated in which, in a first field, the identifier of the routine being searched is written, and in a second field, an identifier for the called routine is written. The user may select for outputting the routines called by a particular routine, in which case, the entries are accessed via the first field and the contents of the second field are output. Alternatively, the user may select for outputting the routines called by a particular routine, in which case the entries are accessed via the second field and the contents of the first field are output.
