-
Windowed environment when coupled with 62 line x 160 column 3270
sessions, provides multiple concurrent displays, with
virtually infinite flexibilty.
CBLi will exploit the large screen dimensions
available via modern 3270 emulators.
-
Interactive SELCOPY execution which allows the user to debug
SELCOPY job streams by stepping through control statements,
setting break points and displaying changes to workarea storage, @ pointers, etc.
-
Interactive CBLVCAT execution which allows the user to generate
"on the fly" reports of VTOC/Catalog contents and IDCAMS
tuning recommendations for VSAM data sets.
-
Integrated file editor (CBLe) with modes for
both ISPF and KEDIT/XEDIT compatibility
within a Windows-style Multiple Document Interface (MDI).
Features of both ISPF and KEDIT modes always available.
-
VSAM Edit.
-
REXX macro support.
-
Unique 'Command-Centre' system allows users to group, annotate, and
then execute frequently used commands with a single key-depression.
Issue commands directly to TSO or ISPF, to invoke any integrated
feature of CBLi, or directly edit/view/list favourite datasets.
System-symbols, user defined, and CBLi standard variables may be
embedded in any command.
Navigable and modifiable using your familiar editor interface.
-
Disaster Recovery: CBLi will run under VTAM without ISPF or TSO,
still providing a full-function editor, and job-submission.
-
System navigation through DASD, VTOC, Dataset, Library and Allocated file
list windows, each with extended functionality, search, subset and
intuitive drill-down capability.
-
Navigation improved by direct access to any list window
via parameter driven command-line interface, typically
stored in 'command-centre' groups for point-and-shoot.
-
List window information (Dataset, Library lists etc) available to REXX
macros, providing for customisable commands, and
intelligent procedures.
-
Dataset allocation and VSAM file definition dialogs.
Built-in ALLOC command for when TSO is not available.
-
'Save as ..', or fresh edit, for new (unallocated) datasets.
First save automatically triggers dataset allocation/VSAM definition
dialog.
-
IDCAMS and DB/2 SQL interactive facilities.
-
Executes natively in CMS or TSO/E, as an ISPF application
and as a VTAM application in MVS or VSE.
