ENABLE User's Guide

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION TO ENABLE
Many companies have a backlog of programming projects requested
by their departments. While these projects are important to the
department involved, most companies use their data processing
resources to develop projects that are important to the
organization as a whole; projects for a single department must
often wait.
If your department needs a data-management application, ENABLE
may offer a solution. You can use ENABLE to develop an
application that can record, maintain, or retrieve information
stored within a data base. ENABLE is a powerful tool that allows
you to develop simple data-management applications, without using
a conventional programming language.
Although it might not solve your problem with as much
sophistication as a custom-designed application program, you can
quickly generate an ENABLE application to meet your immediate
needs.
WHAT CAN AN ENABLE APPLICATION DO?
An ENABLE application can enter, retrieve, and display
information from one or more related data base files. The
application performs these operations on a record-by-record basis
and on one file at a time.
