P3/COBOL Editor for BS2IDE
High performance, flexible and intuitive: modern development on BS2000
With P3/COBOL, BT2000 mainframe development is elevated to the next level.
Editing with EDT via traditional 9750 terminal emulation on a BS2000 mainframe? Not anymore.
P3/COBOL Editor and BS2IDE together combine the performance of a BS2000 mainframe with a modern development environment for the whole team.
What is the P3/COBOL Editor?
The P3/COBOL Editor is an Eclipse plugin that offers developers a comfortable and modern development environment to maintain and develop simple and complex BS2000 mainframe applications.
Deep Intelligence
In a first step, the P3/COBOL Editor indexes the entire source code to provide a high degree of comfort when developing or maintaining existing or new COBOL applications.
The COBOL explorer enables comprehensive project maintenance in one place:
- COBOL programmes
- Copybooks
- Data files
Switching back and forth between windows is now a thing of the past.
Code Completion makes it easier to select the right variable and offers detailed information about definitions, offset, length and other characteristics.
Syntax Check saves time. It avoids unnecessary compilation, and in particular transfer to the host system. The P3/COBOL Editor supports COBOL dialects such as COBOL85, COBOL 2000 and many more.
Outline View offers fast navigation through the COBOL program.
- Abstract overview of the whole program
- DIVISIONs, SECTIONs, PARAGRAPHs, variables and repositories
- Direct display of defined variables’ step numbers
- Direct clearing of variable names with COPY REPLACING
- Easy navigation to desired positions
Relationships use source code indexes to illustrate dependencies.
- All copy books used in the active program
- All sub routines used in the active program
- The COBOL programmes that use a copy book
- Easy navigation to the desired source
