Application generators at IBM
Aaron M. Goodman · 1982
This paper discusses the reasons for the great interest in application generation. Because of the growing backlog of user demands on data processing, a new technology with an order-of-magnitude increase in productivity is suggested. IBM has two families of application generation products. One, DMS, operates in a CICS/VS environment; the other, IMSADF, operates in an IMS/VS environment. An overview of the techniques involved and the benefits of using these systems is discussed.
