Description

Gen is a comprehensive, unified development environment that empowers teams to build and sustain large-scale business applications across various platforms. By facilitating rapid and efficient responses to evolving business landscapes, it enables organizations to manage applications throughout their entire development lifecycle while safeguarding investments in essential business systems. With a focus on model-driven development, Gen allows teams to articulate business logic and application functionalities at a more abstract level, subsequently generating code capable of operating on mainframe, distributed, and additional supported platforms. Specifically engineered for high-performance, scalable enterprise applications, it simplifies the challenges associated with constructing and maintaining critical systems. Furthermore, Gen encompasses analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance within a singular environment, thus enhancing consistency and productivity for development teams managing intricate application portfolios. Ultimately, this integrated approach not only streamlines processes but also fosters innovation within organizations.

Description

Z/XDC offers developers an interactive and source-level debugging experience for mainframe programs within any z/OS environment, enabling them to navigate through live code, monitor variables in real-time, and address issues more swiftly than conventional techniques allow. By eliminating the guesswork inherent in traditional debugging, it grants comprehensive, real-time insight into program execution and introduces advanced debugging features to mainframe development. With Z/XDC, developers can significantly cut down on debugging durations, transforming a process that typically takes days into one that can be accomplished in hours, allowing them to test hypotheses instantly without the need for lengthy recompilation, make spontaneous modifications, run “what if” scenarios, correct problems, and validate solutions efficiently. Among its capabilities, Z/XDC allows for precise line-by-line stepping through code, instant code alterations, flag adjustments, modifications of data fields and registers, control over the Program Status Word (PSW), and the ability to load or delete modules, as well as manage memory with GETMAINs and FREEMAINs, and post Event Control Blocks. Additionally, it ensures source-level visibility, allowing developers to view the code as initially written, automatically load source image maps from ADATA, and access a variety of other helpful features, making it an indispensable tool for modern mainframe programming. This integration of advanced debugging functionalities enhances overall productivity and streamlines the development workflow for programmers working in mainframe environments.
