OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
COBOL FAMILY OVERVIEW
Three new COBOL products are available on OS/2, AIX, and MVS & VM,
breathing new vitality into the business language of choice. IBM has
dramatically enhanced COBOL with visual development tools (OS/2),
object-oriented extensions, and powerful client/server support across
a wide variety of platforms.
The enhancements in IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 also
offer exceptional gains in productivity and flexibility. With
desktop-based visual development tools, programmers can begin
applications by creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs). To put
substance behind the GUIs, the visual tools and data utility
functions allow rapid development to create business logic and access
databases, VSAM files, and transaction-processing systems.
With IBM's COBOL Family, COBOL programmers can use their
expertise to create advanced client/server applications, allowing
host COBOL applications to move to the desktop, while data remains on
the host.
IBM VISUALAGE FOR COBOL FOR OS/2
IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 provides the COBOL programmer with
32-bit direct-to-SOM-based, object-oriented support on the OS/2
operating system. In addition, a COBOL application development
environment is provided that is designed specifically to handle
client/server, mission-critical, line-of-business applications
through visual development. IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 also
gives the COBOL programmer a set of high-productivity, OS/2-based
power tools for the development of applications targeting OS/2
execution systems.
LOCAL AND REMOTE DATA ACCESS: IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2
provides local and remote data access to data including:
o IBM SMARTdata UTILITIES (SdU) which provides:
- Record-oriented file access through standard COBOL I/O
statements to:
-- Local OS/2 VSAM files
-- Remote MVS VSAM, SAM, PDS, and PDSE files
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 3
-- Remote OS/400 Record Files
-- Remote CICS-managed VSAM files on MVS using CICS/DDM
- A full set of data conversion APIs for converting single,
double, and mixed byte character strings, numerics, and
complex structured records
- A full set of SMARTsort APIs for sorting, copying, and
merging record and byte files located locally or remotely
o Direct access to data managed by BTRIEVE
o Support for local and remote DB2 data access using DB2 for OS/2
o Support for local and remote CICS data access using CICS for OS/2
or CICS Client for OS/2
VISUAL GUI DESIGNER: The visual GUI designer provides capabilities
to allow the building of complex CUA (TM)-compliant screens. The
visual interface (GUI work screen) that creates the GUI code is an
easy-to-use, intuitive tool for creating graphical interfaces,
eliminating the need for in-depth GUI development knowledge.
Programmers can create applications by selecting controls from the
control palette, moving them onto the design editor, thereby
providing an integrated "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) user
interface. Either during or after this brief development process,
developers may build the application by coding in COBOL logic with
COBOL sensitive edit/compile/debug tools.
WORKFRAME/2: IBM WorkFrame/2 provides seamless integration of all
the components included in the IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2
product. WorkFrame/2 is a highly configurable, project-oriented
application development environment for use on OS/2 and is
specifically designed to take full advantage of the features offered
by OS/2. When used as the integration medium for application
development tools, the fully configurable IBM WorkFrame/2 increases
the effectiveness of these tools as agents for enhancing user
productivity. IBM WorkFrame/2 organizes the programmer's workplace
by grouping files into logical units or projects. As an organizer,
IBM WorkFrame/2:
o Adapts to the user's project organization environment instead of
the project organization having to fit into the WorkFrame-defined
environment.
o Sets up projects to consist of source and object files spanning
multiple directories and one target directory (such as EXE or
DLL).
o Associates each project with multiple actions, including
compiling, debugging, making, linking, browsing,
profiling/analyzing, and preprocessing.
o As a tools integrator, multiple developers can now work
concurrently on a single project by plugging in their own source
control system.
CONTEXT SENSITIVE EDITOR: The LPEX Editor is a language-sensitive,
color editor which supports COBOL. The LPEX Editor can be used to
create and edit many types of text files, including program source
and documentation. By automatically parsing COBOL source code, LPEX
distinguishes between language constructs. For instance, language
keywords, comments, string literals, and numbers are displayed using
distinctive fonts and colors. Developers can quickly find items they
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 4
are looking for in their source code. Using LPEX, developers can:
o Be made aware of some syntax errors when the source code is
created.
o Use multiple windows to display several documents or to display
more than one view of the same document.
o Dynamically configure LPEX to be a multiple-window or
single-window tool.
o Select a block of text and move or copy it between documents.
o Cut and paste to a shell or another application.
o Undo previous changes to a document.
Developers can customize and extend virtually every aspect of
this programmable editor. LPEX is designed to be extended through
dynamic link libraries; there is no proprietary extension language to
learn. With the LPEX application programming interface (API),
developers can write powerful extensions to the editor using C and
C++. In addition, LPEX provides a rich command language that
developers can use to create or modify editor functions. Developers
can:
o Define their own fonts and colors.
o Modify the editor action key layout.
o Add menus to perform frequently used commands (menu definitions
can be applied on a filename extension basis).
o Write their own editor commands.
INTERACTIVE DEBUG TOOL FOR OS/2 (IDBUG): The debug tool supplied
with IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 provides source level debugging
built around a set of core functions designed to let users quickly
and efficiently control execution and analyze data. Users can:
o Display and change variables.
o Display and change storage.
o Display and change the processor registers.
o Display the call stack.
o Add and delete simple and complex breakpoints.
o Control the execution of multiple threads.
o View source code as a listing, disassembly or mixed.
CICS for OS/2 Version 3.0 transactions built with IBM
VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 can be debugged interactively.
For PM application programming support, synchronous and
asynchronous modes give users two ways to debug PM applications. The
application windows can be managed concurrently with the debug tool
windows.
PERFORMANCE TUNING: Execution trace analysis and performance tuning
is provided through the IBM Performance Analyzer. It is designed to
help users tune and understand their programs by monitoring program
execution and generating a function-by-function trace of the run.
This trace can subsequently be examined by utility programs that
graphically display the execution trace. Not only does the analyzer
trace procedures in the EXE file, but it traces the entry points to
system calls and application DLLs.
DATA ASSISTANT AND TRANSACTION ASSISTANT: Data Assistant simplifies
the process of constructing syntactically-correct, embedded SQL
statements. It gives you a graphical view of your relational
database, and allows you to map COBOL data structures to the database
DATA BASE : ALET PAGE: 5
and generate SQL statements into your source file.
Transaction Assistant enables non-CICS COBOL applications to
access CICS transactions.
OPEN ENTERPRISE: IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 supports the high
subset of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) COBOL (ANSI
X3.23-1985) and International Standards Organization (ISO) COBOL (ISO
1989:1985), as well as the Intrinsic Function Module for COBOL (ANSI
X3.23a-1989 and ISO 1989/Amendment 1).
PRODUCT POSITIONING
IBM's object-oriented COBOL family of products combine the
technical and practical advantages of the COBOL language with the
benefits of object-oriented programming. The fact that these
products extend the COBOL language, the world's most popular
conventional programming language, gives them four distinct
advantages over other object-oriented programming languages:
1. The ability to readily interface to, and extend, existing COBOL
applications.
2. An abundance of developers with COBOL programming skills (which
increases the likelihood that object-oriented COBOL will become
the most widely-used object-oriented programming language in the
industry).
3. The natural synergy of COBOL, transaction processing, and
database access via object-oriented programming, provides an
compelling reason to use IBM's object-oriented COBOL offerings.
4. The object-oriented features are a natural extension of COBOL.
It now will be easy for COBOL developers to get started with
object-oriented COBOL while using the same robust COBOL
development environment they have grown to depend on.
Object-oriented COBOL applications can work with existing
COBOL applications, as well as SOM objects written in other
languages.
IBM VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 works with TeamConection to
store COBOL source files, build COBOL applications, and provide
version control and change management for applications in production.
