Native Mode System Components
This section describes the MPE/iX operating system subsystems important
for programming only in Native Mode (NM). For programming information on
MPE/iX operating in Compatibility Mode (CM), refer to the Migration
Series of manuals. Fundamental Operating System (FOS) is the name for
the MPE/iX operating system and associated software included in a
standard 900 Series HP 3000 installation. The software that
automatically comes with MPE/iX is a collection of high-level tools that
make the system easier to use. In addition, other high-level tools are
optionally available for use with MPE/iX. Collectively, these tools
include:
* MPE/iX operating system
* Languages:
HP C/iX
COBOL II/XL
HP Pascal/iX
HP FORTRAN 77/iX
HP Business BASIC/V (CM only)
SPL/V (CM only)
RPG/V (CM only)
* Forms design and screen handling:
- forms control
- VPLUS/V (formatted data entry application)
* Office systems:
- TDP (text editor and formatting application)
- HPSLATE
- HPDESKMANAGER (electronic mail application)
- HPWORD
- Editor (text editor application)
* Development aids:
- System Dictionary/XL
- Transact/V
- Inform/V
- Report/V
* Data Management:
- ALLBASE/SQL
- TurboIMAGE/XL
- Query/V (subsystem for verifying and modifying data)
- Keyed Sequential Access Management (KSAM)
- MPE/iX File System
- SORT-MERGE/XL (utility for ordering records in a file and
merging records in sorted files. It can sort any character
sequence using any data type.)
MPE/iX also provides special purpose utilities for system
administration tasks.
For example, the MPE/iX Tape Labeling Facility allows you to place
labels on magnetic tapes for identification and protection.
MPE/iX provides utilities to facilitate migration of applications
and databases to the 900 Series systems.
