Abstract

THIS COURSE HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER, 1996. IT'S BEEN REPLACED BY: VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 Application Development (N1986).

This course is designed to teach COBOL programmers how to develop COBOL applications under OS/2 using the visual tools provided with VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2. Learn how to develop CUA-compliant panes for your application by means of the visual GUI builder, to define events and actions for these panes with the appropriate code generation, to generate data structure and SQL statements for your application using the VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 Data Assistant, to generate CICS ECI calls for CICS transactions by means of the CICS Transaction Assistant, and to visually debug and correct your application. This course includes many lab exercises reinforcing the individual by hands-on training.

What you will learn

After completing this course, you should be able to:

   Position VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 with regard to the IBM COBOL family
   Use the language-sensitive COBOL(LPEX) editor for the development of COBOL source code
   Use the VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 GUI Designer to develop CUA-compliant panes for your application and to generate the interface code for the events related to these panes
   Use the code assistant of the VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2 GUI Designer to generate code for the actions (routines) defined for the visual parts of applications
   Use the Data Assistant to generate COBOL data structure and SQL statements for DB2 tables and views to be accessed by applications
   Use the CICS Transaction Assistant to generate CICS ECI calls for the invocation of CICS transactions
   Compile and build applications under OS/2
   Debug COBOL applications using the visual debugger provided with VisualAge for COBOL for OS/2
   Generate execution traces of program runs and to examine them by means of utility programs
   Convert COBOL host applications to COBOL client/server applications with an OS/2 front-end
