Description
VisualAge COBOL for Windows NT Version 3.0 is a powerful COBOL
development tool with new function and key usability enhancements for the
Windows NT environment. It is designed to increase developer
productivity, particularly when creating and maintaining host
applications from your workstation.
Enhancements in Version 3.0
Remote Edit/Compile/Debug Enhancements:
Remote edit/compile/debug provides a workstation environment for
developing and maintaining COBOL applications targeted for the host.
Version 3.0 includes updates to remote edit/compile/debug that are
designed to improve host connectivity, simplify the setup tasks, and
provide new graphical interfaces on the workstation for interacting with
the host.
A new remote file access system client is introduced for Version 3.0
that utilizes the IBM HTTP Server in OS/390 rather than requiring any
separate NFS client products. The new support is designed to simplify
the setup between the workstation and the host by reducing the number of
potential conflicts with existing host software, eliminating the need to
acquire separate client software, and providing a graphical interface
that allows you to flexibly customize elements of the host and client
configurations.
Also new are workstation graphical user interfaces that allow you to
complete programming tasks that require you to interact with the host
without having to logon to the host. The job monitor interface will
allow you to submit a job (JCL) to an OS/390 host and then perform
actions on the job such as view status, view output, cancel, release,
hold, and purge. The host commands interface will allow you to remotely
issue TSO host commands from the workstation. You will also be able to
list and reuse previously-executed commands and view their output.
Workframe Enhancements:
Workframe is the project-oriented application development
environment in VisualAge COBOL. Workframe helps to organize the
programmer's workspace by grouping files and actions into projects. The
monitor window and the project smarts wizard have been updated in V3.0 to
improve overall usability.
The monitor window is used to display the results of project actions,
such as builds or compiles, which have many steps or lines of output.
The monitor window will now be integrated as a pane within the project
window so that it does not get "lost" amongst the other windows that
might be open on the desktop. New buttons will also be added for some
common functions such as clearing, saving, and printing the output in the
monitor window.
The project creation and setup wizard, Project Smarts, has been
redesigned to be easier to use. It now includes clearer panels, more
assistance dialogs, and more customization options.
Support has also been added to allow you to access TeamConnection™
files and build processes in a project. TeamConnection actions are also
available from the COBOL project window.
New Common Workstation Distributed Debugger:
With the new distributed debugger, you can debug your COBOL
applications that are running on the workstation or in your host OS/390
environment. The distributed debugger works with the host IBM Debug Tool
to allow for source-level debugging of your host COBOL applications from
the workstation. The distributed debugger's intuitive graphical user
interface simplifies debugging. With a click of your mouse, you can add
and delete both simple and complex breakpoints. You can set these
breakpoints so that program execution halts when:
-
A specific line number is reached
-
Upon entry to a specific function
-
When a specific module is loaded
-
When a specific location in storage is changed
You can also:
-
Display and edit the values of variables, registers, and storage
-
Monitor the call stack
-
Single-step through code
-
Step into or step over functions and routines as well as step return
-
Set a frequency for line breakpoints to stop the program execution at
specified iterations
The distributed debugger allows you to view storage areas in a number of
useful formats. Default views are provided for OS/390 control blocks,
such as the Dynamic Storage Area (DSA) and Prefixed Save Area (PSA).
Control blocks are represented as a tree structure with storage displayed
in formats such as integers and longs. This facility makes reading
storage much more intuitive and errors easier to spot.
COBOL Support for DB2 OS/390 Stored Procedures:
A stored procedure (SP™) is a compiled program, stored on a DB2
local or remote server, that can execute SQL statements. A separate
client application uses a SQL CALL statement to invoke the SP. The new
support in VisualAge COBOL V3.0 is designed to assist you in developing
COBOL applications on the workstation that use DB2 OS/390 stored
procedures. It will enable you to associate a specific SP definition
with a COBOL project. It is designed to assist you in creating,
modifying, viewing, and understanding the SP definition. It can also be
used to show you which attribute values affect the development
environment and to assist you in synchronizing parameters between the SP
definition and the COBOL development environment.
HTML-Based Help:
The online product information is now HTML-based, viewable with your
favorite Web browser. With the move to an HTML-based design, the
information is more consistent with other Windows NT workstation products
and easier to use.
Year 2000
This product is Year 2000 ready. When used in accordance with its
associated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing,
providing, and/or receiving date data within and between the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products (for example,
hardware, software, and firmware) used with the product properly exchange
accurate date data with it.
The service end date for this Year 2000 ready product is
January 31, 2003.
Euro Currency
This program is EuroReady.
For more information on the implications of the euro, visit the IBM euro
Web site at:
EuroReady Products
IBM considers an IBM product to be EuroReady if the product, when used in
accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly
processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the
euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro sign). This
assumes that all other products (that is, hardware, software, firmware,
and so forth) that are used with this product are also EuroReady. IBM
hardware products that are EuroReady may or may not have an engraved euro
sign key on their keyboards.
Currently, EuroReady status applies primarily to IBM products specific to
the EMU countries. Products that are not specific to these countries are
deemed to be "not ready" for euro unless otherwise stated in the
product's country-specific specifications.
IBM Hardware Ready
IBM supplies certain IBM products which include third party software
(pre-loaded or not) and/or third party attached hardware. In these
instances IBM is not in a position to assert that these third party
products are, in themselves, EuroReady.
Therefore, such IBM products will be designated as Hardware ready.
EuroReady Solutions
IBM considers a solution to be EuroReady when the solution providers
have:
-
Analyzed the euro requirements, including the need to comply with
relevant EC rules
-
Built in appropriate function
and can clearly demonstrate this by:
-
Detailing euro related requirements
-
Describing how these will be implemented in the solution
-
Declaring when the implementation will be generally available
The euro capabilities of a EuroReady solution will be clearly identified
as features of the Solution specification as described in the contracts
document.
Product Positioning
IBM's COBOL family of products reaches across multiple workstation and
host environments with consistent language implementation and support for
many databases. IBM COBOL now has offerings on workstation and host
environments such as OS/390, MVS/ESA™, VM/ESA®, VSE/ESA®,

Overview of VisualAge® COBOL
VisualAge COBOL for Windows NT™ provides an offering for the Windows NT
platform that includes the popular COBOL language with object-oriented
extensions, and an application development environment (compiler,
run-time library, visual builder, debug tool, LPEX editor, performance
analyzer, Workframe, and assistant tools). Its remote development
(edit/compile/debug) capability allows you to work with your host
OS/390® applications from your workstation without the need to
duplicate and manage host environments on the workstation. Support is
also included for building applications that can be executed on
Windows™ 95 and Windows 98. Also included is a set of redevelopment
tools that help you to better understand, maintain, and reuse your new
and existing inventory of COBOL applications. These tools are the right
fit to help modernize your applications.
Distributed Data Access:
VisualAge COBOL is designed to provide a set of functions that
enable your applications to handle data across distributed environments.
The services include:
-
Access to remote VSAM record files using the file-processing capabilities
of COBOL
-
Copy, sort, and merge functions for both record and byte files
-
Access to local and remote DB2®, CICS®, and Oracle databases using
native, SQL support
-
Data managed by Btrieve using the file-processing capabilities of COBOL
-
Local sequential, relative, and indexed files using the STL (a VisualAge
COBOL access method) file system, which supports full ANSI 85 COBOL
standard file I/O language
These services complement their counterpart services on the host,
enabling you to create client/server and cooperative processing
applications using the IBM COBOL language. Your applications can also
call the utilities directly using the application programming interfaces
(APIs) that come with the utilities.
WorkFrame:
WorkFrame provides integration for the included components.
WorkFrame is a configurable, project-oriented application development
environment. When used as the integration medium for application
development tools, the configurable WorkFrame increases the effectiveness
of these tools as agents for enhancing productivity. WorkFrame organizes
the programmer's workspace by grouping files into logical units or
projects.
VisualAge Visual Builder:
The VisualAge Visual Builder, for use with COBOL applications, is an
object-oriented visual application builder that is designed to help you
visually build basic graphical user interface (GUI) application screens
that use Windows GUI controls. This easy-to-use tool reduces the need
for in-depth GUI development knowledge and helps you to realize the
advantages of OO programming — the ability to reduce programming time
and improve code quality — by making it easy and practical to develop
applications using a library of reusable components.
Context-Sensitive Editor:
The LPEX editor is a language-sensitive text editor that supports
COBOL (as well as PL/I, C/C++, REXX, and JCL). The 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 are
looking for in their source code.
Interactive Debug Tool:
The Distributed Debugger helps detect and diagnose errors in source
code developed with VisualAge COBOL. You can do the following tasks:
-
Step through or run a program
-
Set breakpoints
-
View the program source
-
Monitor variables, registers, call stack, and storage
Data Assistant Tool:
Data Assistant simplifies the process of constructing embedded SQL
statements. SQL statements generated by Data Assistant can be compiled
and executed in Windows and host COBOL programs.
Performance Analyzer:
The performance analyzer is a tool that can help you understand and
improve the behavior of your programs. The performance analyzer traces
the execution of a program and creates a trace file. The trace file
contains data that can be displayed in diagrams. The diagrams can assist
you in performance tuning, examining occurrences that produce faults, and
in general, understanding what happens when a program runs. Performance
analyzer provides COBOL paragraph support.
Remote Development with the Host:
The Remote Edit/Compile/Debug (E/C/D) function lets you work with
your host OS/390 applications from your Windows NT workstation. This
function provides a seamless workstation development environment for the
development of host programs. Host files are directly accessed from the
workstation. Remote E/C/D is integrated with workstation components such
as the editor and WorkFrame. Remote debugging features the use of a GUI
when interacting with the host debug tool. Communications to the host is
via the popular TCP/IP protocol. The debug front-end used by remote
E/C/D is the same as the local workstation debug front-end.
Remote IMS™ DL/I Support:
Remote IMS DL/I is designed to provide support to help develop and
test mainframe COBOL programs on the workstation that use DL/I calls in
IMS batch applications to access IMS full function databases and GSAM
databases. Using the Remote IMS DL/I support in conjunction with the
other components of VisualAge COBOL, you can develop, compile, and test
COBOL programs that run in an IMS batch environment that use CBLTDLI
calls.
Support for Tivoli Management Environment™:
VisualAge COBOL provides support that helps you develop applications
that can be managed by Tivoli Management Environment (TME). TME provides
an application management solution that covers the life cycle of an
application, from deployment to monitoring and administration. By using
the support in VisualAge COBOL to generate TME events in your
application, you can define and communicate key management
characteristics about your application's status to TME.
VisualAge CICS Enterprise Application Development:
VisualAge CICS Enterprise Application Development is an extra bonus
offering included in the VisualAge COBOL package that provides one
software developer with a development environment that enables CICS host
application development on the Windows NT workstation.
VisualAge for COBOL Report Writer:
VisualAge for COBOL Report Writer is an optional, priced feature of
VisualAge COBOL that can improve programmer productivity in many aspects
of printed output pertaining to COBOL. It delivers a general-purpose
COBOL printing facility, and provides the familiar host Report Writer
function on the workstation. It enables you to define and produce the
listings, reports, and displayed summaries that would normally be
required from a COBOL application, but in less time. It is a
comprehensive set of features built into the COBOL language that enables
programmers to code or modify all types of print layout quickly and
accurately. Because it mixes naturally with basic COBOL and uses a
similar coding style, it offers the benefits of a powerful report
generation tool without the need to train users in a totally new
language.
VisualAge COBOL Redevelopment Tools:
The VisualAge COBOL Redevelopment Tools are optional tools that can
be used with VisualAge COBOL V3.0. These tools are available from the
downloads page on the IBM COBOL web site:
Your inventory of existing applications is the backbone of your business.
For years to come, these applications will continue to require
modification and maintenance. To help meet requirements, IBM VisualAge
COBOL provides a set of redevelopment tools designed to reduce the
complexity of and simplify the maintenance of your legacy applications.
The redevelopment tools provide a means for analyzing and maintaining
COBOL programs and applications. With the redevelopment tools, you can
re-engineer existing programs to produce a better understood and
documented application. When used with the other components of VisualAge
COBOL, it aids in the understanding, maintenance, and reuse of your
existing inventory of COBOL code, and in editing, compiling, and
debugging new and existing applications. The redevelopment tools are
Application Understanding and Program Understanding.
The analysis and maintenance process generally begins with an evaluation
of your applications to find the most suitable choices for redevelopment.
You can use the Application Understanding tool to identify appropriate
redevelopment candidates and to predict the impact of the changes you
might want to make. Use Application Understanding to capture and study
the key information regarding your current production environment.
Application Understanding scans your host JCL and extracts key data, then
downloads it to the workstation, and provides graphical displays of this
analytical data. You can use these displays to identify the components
of a job, the relationships among them, and the resources that they have
in common.
You can then use the Program Understanding tool to analyze your programs.
You can locate data flow in and between programs in executable units and
see a program's relative complexity. The Year 2000 Analysis function can
also assist you in locating occurrences of various kinds of date-related
fields. The tool also performs analysis on variables shared by programs.
