Power PathPort

Cross Compile

Next, the downloaded SCOBOL source files are cross compiled. The Power PathPort cross compiler is invoked via the Cross Compile dialog.

The dialog displays all SCOBOL files downloaded in conjunction with this client. Some or all of these files may be selected for cross compilation. In this example, the five recently downloaded modules are selected.

Cross compilation is effected by clicking on the Cross Compile button. Upon conclusion, the Cross Compiled Files dialog is displayed giving the results on a module by module basis.

The cross compiler actually produces two things for each module, C++ source code and PowerBuilder source code.

The PowerBuilder source code implements all screen presentation functions previously associated with the legacy SCOBOL requester.

The C++ source code implements all other requester functionality as a Windows DLL which is produced automatically during the Make Requester step.
