From the abstract: "The forms generator will display and accept input into a form (in a screen-oriented fashion via the virtual terminal) in such a way that this mechanism is transparent to the Ada program using it. ... The system [provides] both an interactive and batch interface that enables an application programmer to design a screen format and save the representation in a machine readable form." The Forms Generator (FORM2*.*) is one of the WIS/NOSC tools. Code is over 270,000 bytes, and all files (code and doc) total to over 470,000 bytes. For the interactive mode, you also need the Virtual Terminal software in PD:<ADA.VIRTERM>, which is another 224,000+ bytes of software with a total of 927,000+ bytes (sw and doc).

There is a very high correlation between the COBOL FD and associated 01 and subsequent lower levels of detail, ie description of data elements and their characteristics. The methods in which records are organized should also be describable in Ada. Has anyone done any work in standardizing the data dictionary entries that in fact lay out the structure and inter-relations. Of particular note would be those that are relational structures, indexed sequential, and networked; ie existing older technology descriptions. New structual descriptions would also be useful. Comments would be appreciated. LtCol Frank Falgiano Advanced Technology Division WIS JPMO AV 478-2930 (617) 377-2930 falgiano@mitre ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
