Product Overview
Editor is a versatile file-editing system that facilitates program development on enterprise server systems. The Editor displays or modifies program, text, or data files that you create or access through the Command and Edit (CANDE) language.
General Features
The Editor enables you to
-
Insert or merge records from an external file into your current work file.
-
Change the text of one or more records in your file.
-
Add or delete records in your current work file.
-
Move or copy existing text to a different location within your file.
-
Perform various types of formatting operations including paragraphing, centering, shifting, line splitting, and line joining.
-
Restore the contents of a work file to what it was prior to an operation that had an undesirable result.
-
Assign or modify sequence numbers to groups of records.
-
Use special control keys on T27 or compatible terminals that perform various Editor functions.
-
Easily access information contained in program and memory dumps through the dump analysis feature.
-
List the contents of external files without affecting the contents of the current work file.
-
Assign labels to identify particular records in a file.
-
Find any specified text in a file, or areas in the work file where you have changed, added, or deleted text.
-
Automatically recover changes to the work file in case of a system fault.
-
Remember the state of an Editor session from one run to another.
-
Provide online information about topics referenced by the Editor.
-
Use cross-reference facilities.
-
Create a patch file of changes made to your work file.
-
Compile your work file.
-
Run your work file or an external code file.
TADS.View
TADS.View combines the functionality of TADS—the Master Control Program (MCP) debugging server—with the extensively integrated capabilities provided by the development environment of the Editor. Both applications can run independently; or the test session can run as a dependent task within the Editor.
TADS.View offers interactive debugging capabilities for the following third-generation language (3GL) compilers:
-
ALGOL
-
C
-
COBOL74 and COBOL85
-
FORTRAN77
-
NEWP
-
Pascal83
TADS.View provides an improved and consistent user interface for existing TADS users. Despite the differences inherent in the underlying command-line TADS products, any TADS product user can access the same interface.
TADS.View makes the test and debugging process smoother and easier by
-
Shortening the learning curve. The user interface is common to all supported languages.
-
Shortening the time required to test and debug complex systems or applications. Under best-case conditions, TADS.View can turn testing and debugging days into hours or even minutes.
-
Making it easier to learn and understand the logic of test programs by watching the application execute statement by statement, stepping into or stepping over subroutines.
-
Making it easier to anticipate, find, and solve problems, thus shortening test schedules, improving the quality of products, and reducing overall costs.
-
Reducing the need to understand machine-specific architecture.
-
Offering automated processes and mechanisms to test scripts.
-
Offering compatibility with a variety of proprietary terminal hardware as well as the Windows operating system.
Who Can Benefit from TADS.View?
TADS.View offers the most benefits to system and application programmers, test engineers, and technical support personnel.
