Features & Benefits
Saves Time
The Speedware V7 integrated application development environment boasts a variety of productivity-enhancing features, including menu structures, keyboard shortcuts, field defaults, object property inheritance and many more.
- Highly structured code that complies with specific syntax standards, making it the ideal solution for rapid application development and maintenance.
- Application code located within a single source file, avoiding the need to locate and manipulate several program files.
- Places the power of object-oriented programming within a developer's reach. Application components are objects that can be easily located, accessed and maintained.
- Uses all columns accessed by a data entry screen, and automatically provides an interface to search for records using standard, generic, or even Omnidex keys.
- Simplifies the design of full-featured data-entry screens with the ability to search, add, modify or delete records.
- Pre-defined function statements allow a host of actions to be performed, including the ability to search a string and return the position of a sub-string.
- WYSIWYG editors enable rapid data-entry screen and report design.
- Generate, manipulate and re-structure self-describing databases within a single development environment, to quickly jump-start an application.
Adapts to your current environment and needs
Speedware V7 is designed to seamlessly integrate into your current and future computing environments to readily adapt to your needs.
- Supports simultaneous developers within a single integrated environment and allows for application component sharing and handles object locking and version control.
- Its data dictionary abstracts database structures from the application. It also contains logical entities such as labels, edit masks and match patterns, reducing the amount of code specified in the source file.
- Interacts with 3GL subroutines written in COBOL, C and other languages and runs operating system commands.
- With Speedware/4GL, any statement can refer to an expression and, in turn, an expression can combine variables, columns, functions, and arithmetic to produce a result.
- Easily designs navigation pull-down menus, which appear as toolbars to the end-user, to execute any Speedware/4GL section.
- Accesses a relational database through a database-independent SELECT statement, dynamic SQL, embedded SQL or straight through the engine for maximum performance.
- Sends report outputs to multiple devices simultaneously and executes logic at specific moments, using specific event markets.
- Designs data entry screens easily by specifying the file, columns and fields. Attach your logic to pre-defined events to execute it as specific moments.
- Combine OS-specific JCL with Speedware/4GL logic to produce batch jobs dynamically.
Grows with your business
