PRO139 DBMS: Data Base Management Package for the Professional - 300 Series Version: V1, February 1984 Author: R. DiMarco Submitted by: Glenn C. Everhart, Ph.D. Operating System: P/OS Source Language: MACRO-11 Keywords: Data Base Management Abstract: The database package was designed to allow small, homogeneous databases to be quickly set up and manipulated. The package provides the user with the following facilities: . An extremely simple method of defining the structure of the records which make up the database. . A screen oriented database editor, which allows records to be created, edited and deleted. The editor supports protected and database managed fields. The editor was designed so that persons with little computer experience (i.e. typists, clerks, etc.) can use it. . A report generation package, which allows specific records to be selected, and reports generated. The records to be included in the report can be sorted by any field within the record, and the report format can be easily modified. . A FORTRAN interface which allows records in the database to be readily accessed from a FORTRAN mainline program. Fields within a record can be accessed via their logical names. A FORTRAN interface is also provided to the sorting module, in the event that the user needs to implement a special application program. The FORTRAN interface also allows the user to access two or more databases simultaneously. . A menu program is included to allow the user to change between the various application programs without the knowledge of their computer interfacing. This version (V2) of the Data Base Management Package includes an easier method of defining and establishing a database, and a much larger manual. The procedures discussed in the manual are illustrated in a pre-built database for managing telephone information which is included. Notes: A hard copy of the manual is available under DECUS No. 11-529. Restrictions: Reformatted for P/OS. Needs work to actually run under P/OS (RSX) but conversion aids are included in the package. Media (Service Charge Code): Five RX50 Diskettes (JE) Format: FILES-11
