Using terminal emulators with AcuBench

AcuBench is particularly helpful in developing a graphical user interface for your HP e3000 applications for deployment using our Thin Client technology. However, at present, this development scenario requires, in most cases, that you compile your updated application on the HP e3000 using ACUCOBOL-GT's HP COBOL compatibility option -Cp. You can use WRQ's Reflection to help transfer files between MPE/iX MPE/iX and Windows and to initiate ACUCOBOL-GT compilation and run-time execution on the HP e3000. The following outlines the basic steps.

1. Use Reflection to import the source code from the HP e3000 to the Windows machine on which AcuBench is installed.
2. Use the Screen Designer to develop and generate code for your GUI screens and perform any source code editing in the AcuBench Code Editor.
3. When you are ready to compile the updated code, use Reflection to export the source code back to the HP e3000.
4. Use Reflection to invoke the ACUCOBOL-GT compiler on the HP e3000.
5. Use Reflection to invoke the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime and debugger on the HP e3000.
