دانلود IBM Workstation APL2 for Multiplatforms v2.0.24252627 - محیط برنامه نویسی APL2

Workstation APL2 Version 2.0 is compatible with the APL2 Version 2 products that run on mainframe zSeries systems with CMS and TSO and with previous Version 1 products for AIX, OS/2, Sun Solaris, and Windows. All of the APL2 systems permit transparent import and export of programs and data and allow for a high degree of application portability.

Workstation APL2 Version 2.0 combines the benefits and features of previous workstation APL2 products for AIX, Solaris, and Windows. In addition, Version 2.0 has significant new features including:
- Support for Linux on PC compatible systems
- Namespaces for application encapsulation and reuse
- Interface to Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) objects on Windows
- Online documentation in PDF form
- APL2 Runtime Library for distribution of APL2 applications


Highlights
Development Environment
Interactive programming is supported through a GUI session manager. On Windows, program, data, and dialog editors are integrated with the session manager. A library manager supports browsing and comparing the active workspace, saved workspaces, transfer files, and namespaces.

GUI applications
On Windows, APL2 provides tools for building GUI applications including ActiveX controls.

Large workspaces
APL2 exploits 32-bit operating systems architecture, allowing workspaces sizes approaching 2GB.

On-line Documentation
The APL2 User's Guide, the APL2 Language Reference manual, a Language Summary, APL2 Programming: Using APL2 with WebSphere, APL2 Programming: Using SQL, and the GRAPHPAK User's Guide are provided on-line in PDF form.

National Language Support
APL2 accepts system commands and issues messages in several national languages. Unicode data is supported by the Tcl interface and the HTTP server.

Runtime Library
A subset of the APL2 system is provided that can be redistributed at no cost to deploy applications without requiring users to acquire an APL2 license.

Programming Interface
The APL2 Programming Interface allows programs written in APL2, C, Java, and Visual Basic to start APL2 interpreters, call APL2 functions, and access APL2 arrays.

Internet Tools
NETTOOLS workspace and supporting utilities, including an HTTP 1.1 web server and clients supporting APL dialect independent data transfer and remote procedure calls.

Cooperative Processing
APL2 provides the ability to distribute data and processing among multiple APL2 systems connected through TCP/IP. The APL2 systems on CMS, TSO, AIX, Linux, Sun Solaris, and Windows all contain the following features:
   Cross system shared variables for synchronization and data transfer in a distributed processing environment
- A TCP/IP socket interface for communicating with non-APL applications
- Program control of an APL2 session by another application or APL2 user
- Remote session manager capability


Parallel Processing
Tools are provided for distributing applications onto multiple cores and machines.

Namespaces
Namespaces enable workspace encapsulation and reuse with reduced name conflicts. The support for namespaces on workstations makes feasible development and testing of applications for deployment as mainframe namespaces.

Files as Arrays
File access is supported using APL2 primitive functions and operators.

Object Library
APL2 arrays can be saved by name. Object files are portable between all APL2 systems.

Universal Graphics
The graphics processor supports generating high-quality graphics, text, and images, using a simple command syntax. The GRAPHPAK workspace is compatible with versions offered on all of the APL2 systems.

Database access
Auxiliary processor 127 provides an interface to IBM DB2, and auxiliary processor 227 provides an interface to databases supporting ODBC, using the SQL language.

COM interface
The COM external function supports access to Microsoft Component Object Model objects.

Tcl interface
The APL2 Tcl interface supports access to the Tcl command language, which provides a wide variety of tools for string parsing, file IO and building graphical user interfaces (GUI).

Performance monitor
The TIME workspace allows for analysis of APL2 programs to determine performance bottlenecks.

Application development workspaces
Example and utility workspaces are provided which can be used directly or modified for individual needs.

Calls to other languages
Programs written in other languages can be called using normal APL2 syntax.

Tools for writing auxiliary processors
Sample processors, C header files, and a server interface allow for easy implementation of custom processors, including client-server processors.

System Services
APL2 interfaces to system services are supplied as Associated Processors and Auxiliary Processors. Associated processors provide a synchronous interface to services via the name association facility of the APL2 language. Auxiliary processors provide an asynchronous interface to services using the shared variable facility.
