Abstract

A file-handling full screen data entry, verification, updating, and display system, with overtones of a data base management system without the overhead is described. Using a high level specification language, created automatically by describing a form on the screen, a PL/1 program is generated which will display empty forms allowing data entry, verification and retrieval (by example). Files or transactions to data base systems may be constructed, and existing files formatted for display, post hoc field validation and restructuring. The system is complete but may be interfaced with other systems and, because it is a program generator, used to provide building blocks (reusable code) for other full screen applications.
