I'm not sure if class diagrams make sense in your case. You could understand
structures or collections of global data as classes. But, for it's not
implemented object oriented, assigning the existing functions to the
specific classes might be difficult.

Eventhough, just to make things clear on an abstract level (such as to make
clear how your system behaves) you could use sequence diagrams with objects
of fictive classes. During requirement analysis we sometimes use such
objects long befor any of the classes have been declared or if we reuse
existing non-OO code.

Betreff: (ROSE) Rose and non-OO systems?


I need to produce system documentation of an existing non-OO system, and I 
am not sure whether I should use Rose (and UML) for this.
I can see that I can use use case diagrams and activity diagrams on a high 
level, but would it make sense to use classes and objects (in class 
diagrams and sequence diagrams) to document existing procedural code?

I would really appreciate your comments
