The Virtuoso COBOL Sample Library
A library of COBOL macros and models is available as a separately
purchased product. The Virtuoso COBOL Sample Library can serve as a
starting point for the development of your own site-specific library.
The library may be used as is, or it can be modified and adapted to
conform to your local standards.
The library contains macros that interface to the common HP 3000
application subsystems:
* TurboIMAGE Macros - Macros that generate COBOL code to call th
commonly used TurboIMAGE intrinsics.
* Hi-Li Macros - Macros that generate COBOL code to call the Hi-Li
intrinsics for forms handling.
* File Macros - Macros that generate COBOL code to perform standard
operations on MPE files.
* BRW Macros - Macros that generate COBOL code to call BRW (Business
Report Writer) intrinsics.
* Utility Macros - Macros that generate code for common COBOL code
sequences. For example, one utility macro can be used to generate
code for the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION, ENVIRONMENT DIVISION, and DATA
DIVISION of a COBOL program.
* Documentation Macros - These macros generate text that can be used
for producing application documentation.
The models that are included in the library provide a starting point from
which your own site-specific models can be developed. Examples of some
of the models contained in the library are:
* A model that generates COBOL code to add, change, or delete
information from a TurboIMAGE detail dataset interactively using a
FORMSPEC form.
* A model that generates COBOL code to add entries to one or more
TurboIMAGE datasets from one or more FORMSPEC forms.
* A model that generates application documentation based on the
information stored in System Dictionary.
