PowerCOBOL is a graphical application development tool for COBOL programmers. The PowerCOBOL development environment allows programmers to use their existing COBOL knowledge to build and execute complex graphical user interface (GUI) applications in the Microsoft Windows environment.
PowerCOBOL simplifies the process of programming for event-driven object-oriented applications and abstracts Windows APIs to a higher level. It enables programmers to perform all of the steps associated with developing complex, graphical, client/server, Windows applications.
With PowerCOBOL, you can:
Develop graphical user interface (GUI) applications
Include event-driven programming objects
Enhance applications with standard COBOL syntax
Connect to other tools
Develop multimedia applications
Develop client/server applications
Develop applications that interact with other open object environments
Create OLE, ActiveX and COM components
