Need Something Done Quickly? We’re all suffering from the virus and lockdowns, it’s a fact. And some of that suffering is heartbreaking, not just here in the U.S. but all over the world. As a modernization vendor, we can point out that modernized applications are easier to work with, require skills that are not in short supply, and save you 20-40% in operating cost. But, when the house is on fire, most people don’t...

CA-IDMS… one of the top mainframe software development and database systems from years gone by. ADS/O for the screens, IDMS calls for database operations.  Good stuff, if you know how to use it.  Compare to Model 204 (also known as M204), Software AG Natural and ADABAS, CA-Datacom (IDEAL and Datacom/DB), and MAPPER on the Unisys mainframes.More productive than straight COBOL, but not as powerful as the true 4GL environments like Focus...

In computer science, code technology is known as the task by which a compiler’s code generator changes many advanced representation of source code generator into a form that is simply applied by a tool. Compilers typically execute numerous travels over a number of advanced level forms. This method may be used since several computations for code optimization are more straightforward to make use of one at the same time...

In the industry, the term “code generator” has different meanings; for example, in a compiler, it’s the part that outputs machine language instructions that can actually be executed. But, for us application programmers, the term code generator usually means a program that writes high level source code — the kind that programmers might otherwise have to write. Examples include Symantec Visual Cafe, and what was once Texas...

Because we write a lot of code very quickly, sometimes people conclude that Java code generation is responsible for the speed we achieve.  And, in a way they’re right, although often people have in mind the old style code generators of the 70’s when they say that. This is not your father’s code generator. When we built our technology, we knew there are two things people hate about code generators: first, they write low quality...

Micro Focus has recently come up with many new options meant to cut expenses and also to cut time, when it comes to building or just maintaining applications used by organizations; some of these options are Micro Focus Cobol, Micro Focus Server Express, Micro Focus DevPartner Studio, Micro Focus Silk4J and Micro Focus for Visual Studio. These options generally enable Java and other devs to modernize their mainframes, by offering a reliable...
