A Browser Enabled 4GL - FabGen

 
 
 
 
PixieWeb
Sysmark
 

Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. of CA, USA has FabGen™. This 4GL adds a Browser User Interface to the already powerful, terminal-emulator-based software, without removing any of its character-based capabilities.

 

Develop and deploy "field-by-field" apps. on the web

 

Users and business partners can now have constant, controlled access to applications and data via the Internet using the same field-by-field database interaction expected in real-time, transaction based software.

 

The Sysmark  4th Generation, Very High Level, Applications Development System (FabGen™) will enable you to:

  • Create Accounts
  • Create Files
  • Create Menus
  • Create Entry Screens
  • Create Procedures to Update Your Data Base
  • Create Forms
  • Create Reports
  • Create Documentation
  • Create Training Materials
  • Utilize System Utility Programs

 

FabGen™ is sufficiently powerful to execute the most demanding business processes and non-programmers can develop simple software applications. FabGen™ may be used to replace, repackage or retool most software applications by extending their usability to the Internet.

FabGen™ is a rapid application development (RAD) tool that allows you to create menus, data screens, batch processes and display reports for access using standard web browsers without writing any html programming code.

FabGen™ also creates screen and menu templates and reports for use with traditional character-based terminals and terminal emulators, as well as with standard browsers.

Unlike code generators, which generate code that resides separate from the generator, FabGen™ is a parameter-based RAD tool that is installed with the application software and that executes the compiled menu and data screen parameters files that it generates. This makes applications running under FabGen™ much faster than applications running with code created by much more verbose code generators.

Since no RAD tool can always provide all of the functionality required in a particular software application, Basic subroutines can be written and connected anywhere within a data screen to provide added functionality not provided by the FabGen™.

Using FabGen™, new applications can be created quickly for prototyping purposes and then flushed out and installed in a fraction of the time necessary to write or re-write the same application in a 3rd generation programming language and html code.

Existing applications can be upgraded to web browser standards and installed without writing any html code, using the same "x,y" cursor positioning already in use.

FabGen™ uses PixieWeb™ as the html I/O engine to pass HTML4.0 pages and data between the browser and your database in either a real-time, dynamic, persistent interaction or in a batch, non-persistent interaction with the database.

FabGen™ runs on many popular databases and operating systems including mvBase, Universe and D3.

The Sysmark FabGen™ software is powered by the PixieWeb software the leader in field-by-field database interaction. FabGen™ applications have:

  • Persistent or non-persistent data connections.

  • Fully functional grids.

  • Field-by-field, on-the-fly, data validation.

  • Efficient one-page applications where only changed data is repainted on the screen.

  • A full array of event driven methods.
