Toolset/XL
The Toolset/XL Program Development System is a product that provides a
uniform programming environment for use with COBOL II/XL, HP FORTRAN
77/iX, and HP Pascal/iX on the 900 Series HP 3000. It combines an
integrated set of programming tools to facilitate all phases of program
development, from source code creation and modification to program
compilation, execution, and testing for COBOL II/XL and HP Pascal/iX. For
HP FORTRAN 77/iX, it provides programming tools for program testing on
the symbolic debugging level.
The major features of Toolset/XL are:
* User interface provides easy access to all programming tools.
* Workspace File Manager allows you to generate versions of source
files requiring a minimum of disc utilization. It stores source
files using data compression to eliminate unnecessary trailing
blanks.
* Full screen editor allows you to enter and modify source code on
the screen.
* Program Translation Management simplifies program compilation and
execution. The latest compile listing is saved on-line, compile
time errors are located in the compile listing by using a "point
and push" technique, and the source file can be immediately edited
by accessing the full screen editor.
* Symbolic Debug significantly reduces time required to locate
run-time errors. You can symbolically reference variables and
locations using names in the program. You can set and clear
program breakpoints with optional frequency and proceed counts,
edit source file at a breakpoint, display values and move new
values to any data item, trace and retrace program flow, and trace
changes in data item values between paragraphs.
* COBOL II/XL COPY Library Editing and Management provides a
reusable code feature.
* COBOL II/XL and HP Pascal/iX Data Definition Extractor allow you
to extract definitions from Dictionary/V and use them to generate
data declarations.
In addition to the features described above, Toolset/XL provides an
on-line help facility, a recovery feature for system failure, and the
ability to directly access many MPE/iX commands.
