Fujitsu PowerFORM

Fujitsu® PowerFORM™ is a WYSIWYG graphical form designer and layout tool for creating complex print forms. You can easily replace your traditional plain text reports with graphical COBOL reports. PowerFORM lets you design reports with graphical elements, color, and variable fonts and then print them on any laser or inkjet printer. It is closely integrated with NetCOBOL (previously called Fujitsu COBOL) so PowerFORM reports are defined and written using COBOL file handling syntax. In fact, programming for PowerFORM is almost identical to writing a regular print file.

Highlights: 
  • Create forms with ruled and curved lines, shading, and graphics
  • Tailor the character size, density, and printing pitch
  • Incorporate color into your reports
  • Create professional looking business reports
  • Easily create and maintain reports
  • Use familiar COBOL syntax to produce the reports
  • Include useful features such as "Print Preview"
Benefits: 

PowerFORM offers highly flexible formatting options and helps you to include graphics that might otherwise have to be printed on pre-printed forms. With minimal effort you can convert character-based reports to attractive reports using your choice of fonts, graphical borders, dividing lines, and colors.
