How to Select a Program Generator

Article Abstract:

Application generators reduce development costs and information backlog while increasing productivity and accessibility to information. An application generator should include the following facilities: integrated data dictionary, prototyping, relational data management, ease of use, free formatted screens and reports, menu screens, inquiry screens, and update screens, self-documenting code, data base management interface, teleprocessing monitor interface, portable source code, and sorted output data files. It should also generate source code and JCL for compilation-execution and generate special forms. Application generators are the successors to current high-level languages for program development. They offer the potential of breaking the applications backlog.
