Veryant proudly announces the newest isCOBOL release, isCOBOL Evolve 2011 Release 2 (R2). isCOBOL 2011 R2 includes new GRID and WEB-BROWSER control properties for cross-platform portability, up to 40% improved thin client performance on slow Internet connections, and advanced green screen modernization capabilities.
isCOBOL 2011 R2 includes advances such as:
- Support for complex expressions using the XFD WHEN directive
isCOBOL now supports complex expressions such as those containing AND and OR, including the optional use of parentheses to group expressions.
- Support for the configuration of a decimal point character during runtime
This feature facilitates the deployment of applications to multiple countries without a recompile where different characters, such as periods or commas, are used to represent a decimal point.
- New GRID control properties
New GRID control properties, Row-Cursor-Color, Row-Cursor-Background-Color and Row-Cursor-Foreground-Color, designed to reduce network traffic in thin client and isCOBOL Web Direct 2.0 deployments.
- Updated WEB-BROWSER control capabilities
Updated WEB-BROWSER control capabilities which enable enhanced cross-platform (UNIX®, Linux®, Microsoft® Windows® and Mac) portability and greater compatibility with the latest HTML standards.
- New green screen modernization capabilities
With the new isCOBOL isjcterm feature, users can build updated, graphical, and secure thin client applications that continue to interact with terminals for terminal input, output and calling out to external UNIX/Linux programs. This allows users to modernize green screen applications and add graphical controls in the COBOL language without having to reengineer an application. Because isjcterm uses SSH (a secure transport similar to HTTPS), all the communications are secure.
Additional details on the features and advances in 2011 R2 can be found in the isCOBOL section of the
