There is enormous pressure on IT departments to reduce operating costs, improve performance and drive efficiencies throughout the business. One of the main challenges is to improve programmer productivity and time to delivery. COBOL skills are valuable resources and the time and energy spent on COBOL development and maintenance can have major cost implications for IT operations. A COBOL development environment that automates many programming tasks, including code generation, can ease the learning curve for new COBOL developers and increase the productivity of more experienced COBOL programmers.Product OverviewThe Micro Focus® AcuBench® integrated devel-opment environment (IDE) offers a graphical in-terface for all tools within the ACUCOBOL-GT development system, along with specialized code generation tools that help you increase developer productivity and accelerate time to market.Work with code in an easy-to-use editor that recognizes ACUCOBOL-GT syntax, includes specialty tools for manipulating code, provides code completion assistance for completing COBOL phrases, and gives you an interface for adding template paragraphs to your code with a simple keystroke.Design screens using a drag-and-drop, WYSIWYG interface, then let AcuBench generate the Screen Section code needed to DISPLAY and ACCEPT the screen. Use a similar interface to create graphical reports, then let AcuBench generate the code to cre-ate and print the report.Key BenefitsWith an easy to use interface, AcuBench helps your development team perform all development tasks from design and coding to testing and debugging in a single integrated environment.With specialized designers for creating screens, reports, working-storage, linkage section, data descriptions, and data handling code, AcuBench enables your developers to achieve higher levels of efficiency.The AcuBench toolset’s intuitive design helps your development team increase its productivity and time to delivery.Key FeaturesAcuBench extends and enhances the ACU-COBOLGT development system with a devel-oper-friendly graphical environment.Project Management CapabilitiesProjects and their programs exist within a standard workspace organization, simplifying project development and management.
