DECforms

A software product for the development and deployment of forms-based user interfaces for interactive applications running on OpenVMS systems.

VSI DECforms Development (FDE) allows a form designer to create a form interactively, and the VSI DECforms Run-Time kit allows running of DECforms applications on a target or runtime node. The application program interacts with DECforms through a very simple, six-call record-level interface. Either single or multiple records can be transferred in a single request. All field-level processing is performed by the DECforms Run-Time System, not by the application program.

Features

The DECforms Run-Time System provides a wide variety of form, panel, and field-level control and processing capabilities.
Flexible mechanism for defining functions and redefining keyboards to suit the operator environment.
Supports most OpenVMS data types, which means that data type conversion does not have to be performed by the application program in most cases.
Can be used with [Datatrieve](/products/datatrieve)>to provide powerful, window-like forms interfaces for queries and reports on data stored in RMS, Oracle Rdb, and Oracle CODASYL DBMS files.
Numerous internationalization features allow applications to support user interfaces in multilingual environments.
