HP Tandem Extensions for Codewright (TEC)

Language-Sensitive Programming Support

TEC provides language-specific menus to support the coding of these HP languages:

•

HP C and HP C++

•

COBOL

•

pTAL and TAL

•

TACL

When you open a source file, the appropriate language-specific menu appears on the

menu bar.

For all languages, you can search (GREP) commands in the file, keywords are

chromacoded (see Chromacoding), and you can save function call parameters in the

dictionary for later use (see Dictionaries and Templates).

For HP C and HP C++, you can create or insert modules or work with #PRAGMAS and

#INCLUDES. For HP C++, you have additional support for creating classes and class

members.

For COBOL, you can view source code by paragraph and search (GREP) by

paragraph.

For pTAL and TAL, you can generate HP C prototypes from TAL procedures by

pointing and clicking; insert ?PROC, ?SECTION, or ?PAGE; and check references.

Dictionaries and Templates

TEC maintains four project dictionaries: user, parameter, class, and system.

Information can be stored and retrieved from these dictionaries and used in

conjunction with comment generation (see Comment Headers and Parameter

Documentation).

You can define text templates that contain values for function parameters. The values

are defined when you insert the template into the dictionary. When you direct TEC to

call a function, TEC calls it with the parameter values that you specified.

Chromacoding

Language-dependent chromacoding enables you to select colors to enhance the

visibility of comments, keywords, strings, numbers, preprocessor commands, changed

lines, and braces. You can set the colors you select in Document Preferences in TEC

version 3.0.

Project Definition

In addition to the basic project information supplied by Codewright itself, TEC allows

you to define and change a set of dictionary specifications and search directories to

facilitate locating source files.
