| What is Developer and what does it do?
|
|
|
| Developer is split into two areas; to setup printers, users, passwords and sound exclusions; to setup tables, fields, forms etc. By using OSMOSiS Developer, you can create a Full working system.
|
|
|
| The idea of Developer is so that the Developer will never have to go to TCL again, that is why we have tried to include all database functions such as Selects, ListU etc.
|
|
|
| One of the objectives of OSMOSiS Developer is to provide functionality within the Gui environment so that the user does not need to revert to TCL (or the command prompt).
|
|
|
| Developer consists of the following:
|
| Program Editor
|
| Colour coded basic program editor with linked help built-in. This includes basic, cataloging, jShow plus many more functions. There is functionality to check and correct duplicate catalogued routines.
|
|
|
| Processes
|
| Processes include Assignments, Subroutine, Conditional Processes, Defaults, Query, Paragraphs, File Updates and so on.
|
|
|
| Table Editor
|
| This is the largest module within Developer, it consists of a list of tables for this particular account. It also includes under each table; records, fields, forms and prints etc.
|
|
|
| Automatic Jobs
|
| Setup automatic jobs to execute a sequence of routines with parameters passed to each routine if required.
|
|
|

|
|
|
| Help Editor
|
| Edit all of the help texts for menu items, help message boxes. This is also where you edit all of your documentation for the run-time system.
|
