3D Tek Basis PRO/5 Family Features Expertise
PRO/5® and Visual PRO/5® build on the traditional
strengths of Business BASIC – decimal arithmetic,
built-in field-verification capabilities and portability
- with enhanced file system capabilities, enterprise
scalability, Web-enabling technology, data security and
protection, and improved network security and
performance. Visual PRO/5 adds to these strengths a data
dictionary, resource builder, and visual programming
environment to create and debug GUI applications with
point-and-click simplicity.
The BASIS legacy product suite for business
applications includes:
- Visual PRO/5, a fast Windows-only GUI
interpretive language
- PRO/5, our highly efficient character-based
interpretive language, optimized for various UNIX
and Linux versions, favored for legacy style
Enterprise scaled systems
- PRO/5 Data Server, a database management product
for network data access Enterprise Scalability
As your enterprise grows, so can your PRO/5 or Visual
PRO/5 application. Large file support in BASIS products
gives you the ability to create and access files of
virtually unlimited size on platforms that support the
large file format.
Data Protection
BASIS' highly recoverable file option assures the
integrity of your mission-critical data. The highly
recoverable file format stores record tags along with a
checksum of the record data/key information to
facilitate the detection of corrupted records and allow
for a more thorough recovery of the file.
Web-Enabling Technology
You can create true client/server applications,
coordinate mail service, and manage remote processes,
and other applications over a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
PRO/5 and Visual PRO/5 enable communications directly
with other computer via TCP or UDP sockets. Sockets can
remain connected indefinitely, "listening" for requests
without using precious CPU resources and affecting
network performance.
Native Database
With the native database, you can save money by not
having to purchase an external database.
Direct File Access or SQL
PRO/5 and Visual PRO/5 give you the flexibility of
accessing data contained in BASIS files using native
file access calls or SQL, depending on your system
needs. Native file access calls allow you to read and
write data to individual files in the fastest way
possible. SQL provides the most efficient way to access
related data in multiple files or when query criteria
are complex
