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. -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christel Geldenhuys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Donnerstag, 19. Dezember 2002 17:03 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' 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 ______________________________________________ "The information contained in this communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.
