IBM Licensed Programs: Application Development Products
The Application Development ToolSet contains five utilities:
• ADT: Programming Development Manager (PDM)
The Programming Development Manager provides the focal point of this integrated
application development environment by managing lists of items to be developed or
maintained. By easily subsetting and selecting from lists, the user can manipulate any
number of objects. This enhances the productivity of analysts, programmers, and support
personnel in managing programs, data and systems information, by focusing activities on
a grouping of objects or items to be worked on. The other tools are fully integrated; the
user always returns to the PDM list when use of a tool is complete. Also, by automatically
invoking the appropriate command with correct parameters and syntax, keying and errors
are reduced.
This integration is further enhanced by user-definable options to extend this environment
with the user’s own tools.
• ADT: Source Entry Utility (SEU)
SEU is a full-screen editor providing syntax checking of compiler source statements.
Commands have a strong affinity with those provided by the System/370 Program
Development Facility (PDF) editor as well as the System/36 Development Support Utility
(DSU) editor, and the System/38 SEU.
The following are key characteristics and functions of SEU:
– Syntax checking of entered statements is affected through interfaces to language
syntax checkers.
– 30-line commands are provided, for example: copy, delete, move, and insert.
– SEU commands provide “fastpath” access to many functions.
– Editor profiles are created for each user for storing of parameter values.
– The editor is interactively accessed from Programming Development Manager lists.
– Scan functions facilitate locating text within a member, for example, date, and
character string.
– Predefined high-level language prompts and format lines are provided.
– User-defined prompts to allow programmers to define their own language prompts for
use while editing.
– A split screen capability allows the browse, scan, and copy of:
• Other source members
• Spooled compilation listings
