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.
