Ah, you did say mainframe processes. :-) You also said free. Well, I guess if my last paragraph applies, Visio is free to you.
These people https://www.maketecheasier.com/5-best-free-alternatives-to-microsoft-visio/ recommend LucidChart. These all look good. I guess OfficeDraw is the LibreOffice replacement for Visio.

I am quite fond of it. It is not specifically a flowcharting program but it does a decent job of flowcharting. I think of it as a "technical diagramming" tool (my words, not theirs) -- which would include flowcharts. There *may* be an add-in to do some sort of "standard" or "formal" flowchart but I have not looked. It is very flexible: I use it for diagrams showing the relationship among C++ classes and for those arrow-type syntax diagrams for commands. It is part of the MS Office Suite. List price is probably astronomical but if you work for a medium or large company they may have licenses lying around.

I need a free flowcharting tool to diagram the workflows for several mainframe processes. It would have to run on Windows. Google lists several, but I am not familiar with any of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
