Fujitsu Data Editor for Windows

Fujitsu® Data Editor for Windows® lets you create and manipulate the data files for your COBOL applications with an interactive, easy-to-use editor. Because Data Editor is focused on COBOL, it understands COBOL record descriptions and displays the data using the record descriptions from your COBOL programs. Data editing is fast and intuitive, allowing you to make your updates with minimal amount of effort.

Highlights: 
  • Edit COBOL format and binary data files with data presented as defined in COBOL record descriptions
  • Automatically create test data using the Data Generation feature to populate fields with variable values.
  • Browse existing data files
  • Set values for testing particular program conditions
  • Verify updated data
  • Search for values within fields
  • Import data from, and export data to, XML data files.
     

Data Editor displays the item names and descriptions alongside the data contained in that item. It understands tables, re-definitions and record keys, and communicates these properties in its data displays.

Using these features you can see the data in the same manner you view data from the COBOL program. Data Editor is easy to use and helps you work quickly and effectively.

Fujitsu's Data Editor is one of the components of the NetCOBOL (previously called Fujitsu COBOL) Enterprise Edition. It supports Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP.

Benefits: 
  • Provides quick, convenient way of checking actual values stored in files (for example, if you are seeing unexpected results and want to be sure the input data matches formats and layouts expected by the program).
  • Fast generation of test data using the functions for adding records with automatically generated data values.
  • Easy set up of specific test data conditions by editing values directly into the test files.
  • Supports fixing production data problems aided by a print function that can be used to provide an audit trail of changes made.
