Introducing HP TOOLSET/XL
by Holly Garcia--Commercial Systems Division
HP TOOLSET/XL is now available for MPE XL Operating Systems.
PURPOSE
HP TOOLSET/XL is designed to facilitate three core program development
activities: (1) coding; (2) compiling; and, (3) debugging. All three
capabilities are available for use with COBOL II and Pascal. In
addition, the debugging capability, the Symbolic Debugger, can be used
with FORTRAN.
DESIGN FEATURES
To serve these development activities, HP TOOLSET/XL has six key
features.
* The User Interface enables you to access and communicate with HP
TOOLSET/XL through the use of commands and function keys.
* The online Help Facility introduces HP TOOLSET/XL. It can be used as
such or as a quick reference. The Help Facility contains seven
primary categories of information:
Softkeys (function keys)
Basic Commands
Exec Commands
Workspace Management
Editing Programs
Program Translation
Debugging Programs
* The Workspace controls all of the files that are used in the
development of a single COBOL II or Pascal program:
Source files
Listing files
Object file
Program file
* The Editor allows you to easily compose and modify your programs on
the terminal screen.
* The Program Translator does the compilation and linkage activities
for your program.
* Symbolic Debugger allows you to interactively debug your program
without knowing memory locations or code addresses.
