RPG/COBOL Documentation like JAVADOC

We need to create JAVADOC style html by parsing RPG/Cobol source members that it Works with both fixed & free format and handles extended names.
Modern RPG applications consist of a multitude of subprocedures and programs - a lot more than there were in the traditional RPG applications. Although modern tools, such as the outline view in Remote System Explorer, can provide me with a list of callable subprocedures and programs, they cannot tell me exactly what the subprocedure/program does, what the possible values are for parameters or what the possible return values are.
So we need a way to create the documentations and search it.


Use Case:

the real world use javadoc
