TRANS. Application Development Environment
TRANS is the programmer’s natural interface with MultiBase. A highly productive application development environment that offers the programmer, in a single set, all the elements necessary to develop their application.
TRANS encompasses all those functions that a programmer needs to develop their application in a highly automated way.
TRANS is a “Lower-CASE” tool to aid programming that includes: database structure maintenance, application development and maintenance, prototyping, automatic code generation and documentation.
TRANS includes all the necessary functionality for the definition and maintenance of databases. It allows to handle the SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) in an easy way, through data entry programs that make such handling transparent to the programmer.
As the programmer develops an application, TRANS automatically maintains a programming catalog with all the information about the objects that make up the application: programs, modules, tables, indexes, columns, etc.
During the development of an application on a database, TRANS allows the automatic compilation of all its modules and programs, the generation of a prototype from the schematic and the obtaining of information about all the elements that compose it. Likewise, TRANS allows you to define the directories in which the different elements will be automatically saved.
The TRANS modules responsible for providing programming support allow the classification of modules and programs, definition of programs, editing, compilation, execution, debugging and correction of modules, linking of programs, changes in the classification of a program or module, renaming of programs and modules, etc. In short, all those tasks related to the development of an application’s programs.
For those occasions when the programmer needs to use SQL in interactive mode, TRANS provides a menu with which to edit, test, save, catalog, etc. SQL statements.
To quickly create first versions of the various programs of an application, TRANS offers a number of options for code generation. The generated programs will automatically become part of the TRANS programming catalog, with which they can then be edited, modified, etc. as if they were programs created by the programmer himself.
TRANS provides a set of options that allow the automatic generation of documentation, both user and programmer, for any application developed with it.
