Abstract
Information systems of many organizations are processed through system of interrelated ‘C’ programs. In a ‘C’ program each statement contains functional dependencies amongst the attributes. Sometimes these functional dependencies may redundant in different statements. The existing application programs used in the maintenance of the information system are lengthy, and because of the perennial maintenance of the program, these functional dependencies are unevenly scattered. Thus, some functional dependencies may be implicitly present in other statements or sometimes they are unevenly scattered across the entire program. This situation creates the complication in the reengineering process which creates scuffle in selecting the attributes for a class on the basis of the cohesive property.
