screens

[Truusvlugindewind]

Just curious:

Building screens has never been a 'standard' issue in COBOL. Various vendors supply various solutions. On the mainframe it is a choise between CICS & IMS/DC. On other platforms some vendors (MF) supply a variaty of solutions (dialog system, panels, screen-section, adis). Acu-cobol supplies a screen-section which looks good on windows and character-based.

What do you use for your non-mainframe cobol application? Is your code portable (OS2/windows/unix)? Perhaps supply some screenshots?

I use my own screen manager, but for customers I point to the following one.

SP2 from Flexus (

HTML provides an already familiar interface and runs on all platforms. There is a FAQ about how to use it with PC COBOL.
