5250Builder


5250Builder was an advanced development tool for building GUI front-ends for IBM AS/400 applications. Fully compliant with the NeXTStep Database Kit and Application Kit, 5250Builder made the process of building distributed AS/400 applications as easy as dragging and dropping an Interface Builder palette object.

Utilizing advanced pattern recognition algorithms, 5250Builder automatically produced Database Kit models for AS/400 applications by analyzing 5250 screens and the keystrokes necessary for their traversal. Users simply assigned appropriate field names to screen regions on individual or multiple screens.

Transparently, 5250Builder built a sophisticated data access tree and stored it as a Database Kit model for access by Interface Builder and runtime applications.

5250Builder took advantage of Conextions' 5250Adapter to provide high-performance access to multiple AS/400 applications on one or more hosts concurrently. The result was a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool for building custom 5250 applications the were fully integrated into the NeXTStep environment.
