TSO Superset Utilities™:
Product
Overview:
TSO
tools your programmers
will use, not avoid A product
of both hands-on experience
and specific requests from
our user group, Applied
Software's TSO Superset
Utilities™ provides both
performance and functional
improvements to the basic
TSO utilities. Fundamentally,
it is a " superset " of
efficient program development
tools for the manipulation
of data sets through the
steps of source code and
JCL development, program
compilation review, data
set development and output
report formatting.
Each TSO/SUPERSET Utility has been enhanced and expanded
to facilitate the development of quality code. Together,
they reduce the resolution of programming problems to
the shortest possible time frame. On-line review eliminates
great volumes of printing and excessive wait time. Additionally,
TSO Superset Utilities™ have been enhanced to take full
advantage of 132 column displays, thus providing the
capacity to review user output formats as well as compiled
program listings without cumbersome wrap-around.

LISTJES
Command
No
more print queue delays or searching stacks of printouts
just to check out a few specific statements. The unique,
expanded capability of this utility allows the user
to preview SYSOUT data sets prior to printing. Using
full-screen display capabilities in either the 80 or
132 column environment, your programmer can now quickly
review source listings, JCL, program compilations, and
output report formats.
Efficiency is at the ultimate when the system notifies
the programmer of compilation completion, so the output
can be reviewed immediately and desired pages selectively
printed by an attached printer, greatly reducing job
turn-around time.
COPY
command
Duplicating
data sets - whether it be source code, JCL, data or
output reports - has always been a time consuming activity.
When the exact space requirements are unknown and re-allocation
must occur, this process is further complicated. To
simplify procedures, the COPY command re-allocates disk
space automatically, and optionally returns all unused
space to the system, removing the burden from your programmer.
MERGE
command
Building
programs, JCL and data files from parts of existing,
proven material has always been part of program development.
The existing merge command and its inefficient use of
resources has all but eliminated the value of this important
programming tool. Applied Software has made the MERGE
command the efficient tool it was intended to be. Once
again it can play a significant part in your program
development strategy, adding efficiency and shortening
turn-around time for your finished product.
TSO
SORT command
Assisting in the development of efficient test data
for your programmer, this sort prompter allocates data
sets, builds control statements and sets up the operation
for a sort, further increasing programmer efficiency.
LIST
command
This utility is designed to provide full-screen display
capabilities for review of data files, source programs,
JCL, load module libraries and the like. As with the
LISTJES command, this utility operates either in the
80 or 132 column environment.
FORMAT
command
This final utility provides full word processing capabilities
normally associated with the TSO utility package , plus
Applied Software's enhancements for more efficient operation
and ease of use.
