Ability, Enhances Web Application Development Options Along with Other Significant Features Fujitsu Software Corporation today announced the immediate availability of a major upgrade to its COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level computer programming language, one of the first widely used languages and for many years the most popular language in the business community. compiler for SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill Architecture (for Sun's Solaris(TM) Operating Environment) systems. With this version of NetCOBOL(R) for SPARC(R) Architecture, developers can use NetCOBOL for Windows to give them the ability to develop their applications on their Windows desktops and test and deploy them on the SPARC Architecture system -- all from within the NetCOBOL for Windows development environment. This is made possible by communication links between the two products and enhancements to the interface in the NetCOBOL for Windows Version 7 development environment (already released). "By offering Windows-based development for applications targeted for the Solaris operating system, we are making it easy for VARs to target both platforms with one set of code, and giving developers the option of using their user-friendly Windows machines to develop COBOL applications for the Solaris operating system," said Ron Langer, Director of Languages at Fujitsu Software Corporation. "Because our products on both these platforms come from a common base, we have been able to provide functions such as remote building and debugging which would otherwise have been very challenging or error-prone tasks to accomplish." In addition to the remote debugging ability, the Version 7.1 release of NetCOBOL for SPARC Architecture contains several other important enhancements for application developers: -- Provides SAF SAF Safety SAF Society of American Foresters SAF Society of American Florists SAF Secretary of the Air Force SAF Second Amendment Foundation SAF Singapore Armed Forces SAF Students for Academic Freedom SAF Store And Forward support for developing Netscape NSAPI (NetScape API) A programming interface on Netscape's Web Server. Using NSAPI function calls, Web pages can invoke programs on the server, typically to access data in a database. NSAPI is an alternative to using CGI scripts on Netscape Web servers. Web applications through simple subroutine A group of instructions that perform a specific task. A large subroutine might be called a "module" or "procedure." Subroutine is somewhat of a dated term, but it is still quite valid. interfaces. This adds another Web option to the similar CGI CGI in full Common Gateway Interface. Specification by which a Web server passes data between itself and an application program. Typically, a Web user will make a request of the Web server, which in turn passes the request to a CGI application program. subroutines that have already been part of the product. -- Compiler provides Object-Oriented extensions to COBOL based on the 2002 ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. Standard -- important structures for COBOL programmers to learn as new technologies assume OO ways of working. -- Supports Unicode data, essential for today's international applications. -- Fujitsu's Data Editor and Data Converter tools are now part of the Enterprise Edition of the product, greatly easing the task of creating and maintaining test data files.
