'Program to visualize logic flow

I work in an enterprise system and we just received an old COBOL file full of business rules. It's a large collection of IF ELSE statements that assign a value to a variable. Is there a program where I can enter all these IF ELSE logic statements and see the overall flow at the end?

Thanks!

Also, I suggest you search StackOverflow before asking questions:

IBM's Rational Developer for z/OS has a number of helpful things for this -- it will format and indent your source files for easier human understanding; it will provide you with a tree-line outline view; there are some reporting and UML extensions available, though I've never used them with Cobol and I don't know the level of support there.

There are a number of tools that will visualize Cobol code into flow charts or other representations. Plugging "visualize cobol" into the google will give you a number of other options.
