PL/B Language
The PL/B programming language (formerly DATABUS) is a high-level, English-like
language that is unrivalled in screen, file and character string manipulation. It is in
use all over the world in many different industries. The language is continuing to evolve
through the work of the ANSI PL/B
Standards Committee, of which Sunbelt
Computer Systems, Inc. is an active member.
Sunbelt has been writing and selling system software for PL/B programmers since
1980. Their goal is to provide best tools available so you can perform to your customers'
expectations. In addition to the PL/B language, Sunbelt sells supporting utilities, a report writer, and a Windows ODBC Driver. Free demos are available
for many of our compilers.
FEATURES
- PL/B has incorporated file access capabilities that distinguish it from other
languages. Indexed Sequential Access Method (ISAM) enables quick data retrieval.
Associative Access Method (AAM) enables context sensitive retrieval while allowing dynamic
file updates.
- The screen and printer interfaces are very high level and easy to use.
Sophisticated screens and reports can be generated with relative ease.
- PL/B is inherently multiuser. No additional code is required for files to be
shared amongst many users.
ADVANTAGES
- PL/B source code will compile and run without changes across many platforms. The UNIX and Windows platforms will even execute the
same copy of the executable code.
- The ISAM and AAM file access routines are included with the compiler.
- The package includes is the screen and print subsystem which supports subwindows,
saving and restoring screens and full color.
- No additional products or libraries need to be purchased to generate high
performance applications.
APPLICATIONS
- Programmers from many different industries use the language to accomplish simple
and complex tasks.
- One government entity has designed and programmed a very sophisticated "mug
shot" identification system to be installed in all patrol cars.
- Another customer uses our compiler to teach programming to his Boy Scout troop.
SUPPORTED ENVIRONMENTS
- MS-DOS / DR-DOS / PC-MOS
- Novell / PC-NET / PowerLan / etc.
- WINDOWS / Windows for Workgroups / Windows 95/98/NT
- UNIX / AIX / OSF/1 / HP-UX / (20+ different ports)
