Improve your productivity, reduce the load on your AS/400 system, and maximize your
efficiency with this easy-to-use workstation development environment.
You have a function-rich development environment with an impressive set of tools. You can edit, compile, debug, and use a screen and report painter on the graphical interface of the OS/2 operating system. You can write or maintain applications written in Integrated Language Environment (ILE) RPG for OS/400, RPG/400, ILE COBOL for OS/400, COBOL/400, ILE CL (Control Language) for OS/400, and CL.
CODE/400 for OS/2 uses your existing skill base in RPG, COBOL, CL and DDS programming. Given the short learning curve, you can become productive quickly.
CODE/400 is a very well designed client/server development tool. As you enter the world of client/server application development, you have the opportunity to learn good client/server design as you work on your host or server applications.
The COBOL and RPG program verifiers check the syntax and semantics of your source code. Errors are displayed in an error list window. A click of your mouse sends you to the highlighted error in your code. Checking and correcting errors is done on your workstation to ensure a clean compile on the host--the first time. While in the editor, you can invoke the host compiler. Access to RPG, COBOL, and CL online help directly from the editor also helps you to correct errors quickly.
The interactive source-level debug tool helps you to locate errors in a program's logic step by step via a source listing or a compiler listing view. You can monitor these on your workstation while your program runs on the host. You can set dynamic and conditional breakpoints and change the values of variables as your program is executed. The debug tool works with both OPM and ILE programs (RPG, COBOL and CL).
With WorkFrame/2, you have an application development environment you can tailor. Its user-friendly graphical interface simplifies the process of developing applications. You can group source code and objects into single folders for easy management. And you can easily integrate more tools into your development environment.
Using DSU, you can create display files, printer files, and database files (both physical files and logical files) without directly keying DDS source. With the DSU WYSIWYG editor, you can quickly "paint" screens and reports by using the power of a GUI. It uses the familiar cut-and-paste and mouse actions of the OS/2 GUI.
