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, the user 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	Top
		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	Top
		Processes include Assignments, Subroutine, Conditional Processes, Defaults, Query, Paragraphs, File Updates and so on.

		Table Editor	Top
		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	Top
		Setup automatic jobs to execute a sequence of routines with parameters passed to each routine if required.

		Transactions	Top
		Allows Transaction Processes – single entry with multiple file updates, all parameterised.

		Background Parameters	Top
		Allows updates of transactions to be made in a background process.

		Display Parameters	Top
		Maintenance and multi-file/screen enquiry functions are created with this utility.

		Print Parameters	Top
		Allows the user to design free-format reports and documents.

		Translation Tables	Top
		Allows the user to create tables for translating codes to descriptions.

		Generated Numbers	Top
		Computer generated number maintenance – unlimited numbering sequence includes numeric, alphabetic, date and time sequence.

		Terminal Definitions	Top
		Sets the printer and terminal escape sequences to be used by OSMOSiS-Shell (Terminal Enumerator) and prints/reports.

		Menu Editor	Top
		Edit the menu hierarchy - add/remove/amend folders and items. Create favourites items and shortcuts on your desktop. Run menu items in Windows mode or Character mode.

		File Editor	Top
		With a multi-value editor in mind, this editor allows the user to view by attribute mark, value mark and sub-value mark. No more ED, JED, WED, etc at TCL!

		Help Editor	Top
		Edit all of the help texts for menu items, help message boxes. This is also where the user edits all documentation for the run-time system.
