Hi,

I have some unused variables in my program. I want to find all the unused variables in my code. Do we have any tool provided by Software AG to achieve this? Else can we achieve this using Natural Engineer? Please reply soon…

Hi Sandy,

You can use a Natural Engineer impact analysis for this. Use a Code Improvement criteria and check “Find unused dataitems in programs”.

Cheers,

Graeme
