Arrows are not very visible #4

When you try to check the flow of a commonly called procedure (such as print, close or error handling) the arrows are not very visible. It is kinda hard to follow the flow if i am just checking the chart.

It would be great if I could move the boxes and re-arrange the flow chart so the arrows will not overlap but I am not sure if that is possible 😄

Also, The difference between a PERFORM.. THRU and PERFROM... UNTIL is not that obvious. I wish it could be distinct so that I know that there is a loop.

@jellypuno - keep those ideas flowing :)

As for the re-arranging the boxes - that is in the backlog.

re: PERFORM THRU and PERFORM UNTIL... as a user what do you think would make it obvious ?

The intent of releasing this MVP was to get this kind of feedback!

Maybe having the WS-EOF-YES inside a conditional box? (I mean the diamond shape 😆 ) At least in that way I would know that the procedure needs to meet a condition before it ends.

@vibhor-bc - probably this is something we need to talk to Tom on the UX part.
