State-of-the-Art COBOL Compiler
Object COBOL Developer Suite includes a state-of-the-art
compiler that builds on COBOL's traditional strengths
and adds a range of modern functionality by providing:
- High-performance native code that can be optimized
for peak performance on specific hardware platforms
- Extensive COBOL dialect support that makes it
easy to migrate existing COBOL code
- Easy portability to a wide range of operating
environments and hardware platforms
- Scalability ranging from standalone systems to
multiprocessor systems
- Full support for object oriented development
and deployment, including extensive COBOL class
libraries.
Advanced Debugging & Analysis Tools
Animator® dramatically reduces the time it takes
to debug applications by providing a complete set
of features that allow programmers to control an
application's execution, as well as the information
needed to locate bugs and fix them quickly. Animator
enables users to control source views and application
views through an easy-to-use, intuitive interface.
Object COBOL Developer Suite also includes an integrated
editor specifically designed to meet the needs of
the COBOL programmer. In addition to normal editing
functions, the editor provides direct access to the
Object COBOL compiler and Animator debugger within
the editing session.
SQL Database Support
Object COBOL Developer Suite works with all of the
leading relational databases, including databases
from Oracle, Sybase, Informix and IBM. COBOL precompilers
for the different databases should be obtained from
the appropriate database vendor.
Advanced File Handling Support
Object COBOL Developer Suite supports large indexed
files of up to 256GB, even if the underlying UNIX
or Linux operating system does not. Micro Focus Fileshare™ can
link several network files into a logical database,
and support two-phase commit for Fileshare databases
spread across several servers. Recovery and transaction
logs help ensure the integrity of these databases.
Fileshare provides high-speed network file sharing
by compressing I/O requests into packets and sending
them across the network using available protocols.
Plug-and-Play Networking
Client/Server Bindings provide a lightweight
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism that enables
communications between client/server applications
running on different machines. Using this simple
interface, programmers can develop complex applications
in a fraction of the time it would traditionally
take using other programming techniques.
Client/Server Bindings use the Common Communications
Interface (CCI), which provides a consistent approach
to communications. Programs written and tested
for one system or environment can be easily moved
to other networking protocols without code changes.
CCI currently supports the TCP/IP and Linux Named
Pipes protocols.
User Interface Design and Development
Tools
Micro Focus Dialog System™ allows programmers
to rapidly prototype, develop and deploy scalable
character-based user interfaces that are portable
across UNIX, Linux and PC platforms. Dialog System
isolates screen and keyboard logic from the application
code, reducing the amount of code required by as
much as 75%.
