How mo-parse Classifies Entry Points

This document explains what mo-parse means by "entry point," how it decides which files are entry points, and how CICS classification works. It's written for anyone working with mo-parse output — you don't need to know Parse internals.

Last updated: 2026-05-14.

The Short Version

• An entry point is a source file that mo-parse treats as a starting point for analysis. Think of it as a "root" — mo-parse walks outward from entry points to discover all the programs, copybooks, datasets, and data flows in a codebase.
• A file's context is what kind of file it is: JCL, COBOL, CICS_COBOL, PLI, etc. Whether that file is an entry point is a separate decision — not every COBOL file is an entry point, but every entry point has a context.

Studying for a Tech Interview Sucks, so Here's a Cheat Sheet to Help

This list is meant to be a both a quick guide and reference for further research into these topics. It's basically a summary of that comp sci course you never took or forgot about, so there's no way it can cover everything in depth. It also will be available as a gist on Github for everyone to edit and add to.

Data Structure Basics

###Array ####Definition:

• Stores data elements based on an sequential, most commonly 0 based, index.
• Based on tuples from set theory.
