Transoft FlexGen

Transoft's FlexGen product suite is described as a "best-of-breed" integrated Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment. With technology built around a central, active repository, FlexGen provides COBOL developers with a rich set of integrated modules that significantly increase programmer productivity and reduce costly maintenance activities. It offers all the benefits of COBOL without the drawbacks.

"Our developers are thrilled with the results. They like the new toolset, increased flexibility and more productive environment. Previously it might have taken an hour to set up, submit, compile and link a job - now it's done automatically by FlexGen." Gary Fairbanks, Manager Systems & Programming, Empire Southwest, USA

FlexGen, though a true 4GL Language and Visual Screen design environment, produces structured, fully documented, ANSI-standard code for ACUCOBOL, Micro Focus, and Ryan-McFarland COBOL.

Typically a program that requires 1,000 lines of COBOL code, can be generated with only 60 or 70 lines of FlexGen. Basic enquiry and maintenance programs require no code at all! They can be generated automatically by simply selecting the relevant data and required program type.

"Before FlexGen we could only work on one project at a time because it was so time- consuming. Now we've doubled our producitivity." Shaun Presser, Manager, Wisconsin Lift Truck Corp

FlexGen was first to pioneer an innovative 'thin client' architecture for client/server applications that maximized performance with application execution on the server, with a GUI client-based presentation layer.

Today, hundreds of COBOL developers utilize FlexGen to develop, enhance and maintain highly usable, customizable, cross-platform business critical applications in a fraction of the time required by traditional COBOL development methodologies.

The benefits

  • 10 times faster than conventional coding
  • Optimizes utilization of existing COBOL skills and resources
  • Provides modern look & feel
  • Applications are easy to customize to meet any user requirement
  • Applications can be deployed into a text or graphical environment
  • Greatly reduced maintenance costs
  • Open systems operating system and database independence
  • Portability - expands the software vendor's markets and protects the end-user's software investment
  • Automatic enforcement of programming standards and automatic documentation with comprehensive and consistent error reporting
  • Cross referencing module enables automatic re-generation of programs affected by any repository change - gives total change control and completely eliminates the normal manual tasks of identifying changes, coding and compiling
  • The Easy Query facility provides the non-technical executive user with a powerful, easy-to-use visual tool with which they can produce ad-hoc reports
  • COBOL dialect independence - applications can be developed under one COBOL dialect and automatically converted to another

Transoft's Migration and Integration tools can operate in conjunction with your need to modernize your applications. They provide you with a comprehensive approach for the evolution of new solutions from your existing applications throughout the entire lifecycle of these applications.
