The PowerCOBOL Reference defines all the programming elements of the PowerCOBOL product.
PowerCOBOL applications are made up of forms (windows) that contain controls.
The forms and controls are defined by:
Properties that define the appearance, behavior and supporting data of the control
Methods which are procedures that can be invoked to manipulate the control
Events that can be generated by the control and for which you can write code to act on the event
Some common, or repeated, groups of properties/methods/events have been gathered into PowerCOBOL objects. These are accessed as properties of the containing controls.
The PowerCOBOL Reference provides all the information you need to understand the purpose and function of all the properties, methods, events and objects in the PowerCOBOL system.
