About this title

Synopsis

Focusing on the SAA Common Programming Interface, this book is designed to show how the facilities defined by CPI can be used to achieve the objectives that IBM has set for the CPI component of SAA. It describes the characteristics of the major CPI programming languages, the specifications for an application generator and a procedure language based on IBM's REXX program product.

Synopsis

SAA has been developed by IBM to address the problems caused by the lack of commonality between the different computing environments that it supports. SAA provides a strategic direction for the use of computing and has the potential to become the standard that defines a universal computing environment. This book provides an introduction to the goals and interfaces that Systems Applications Architecture (SAA) defines. It presents a detailed examination of the Common User Access (CUA) interface that defines the way in which an application developer creates a compliant user interface.
