Understanding ASG-Safari™ UDMS 4GL: 2 Days

Tools

UDMS 4GL (server-based)

Course Content

Using the server-based version of the 4GL tools, this course focuses specifically on the 4RW (4GL-ReportWriter) and 4DM (4GL-Data Manager) modules within ASG-Safari UDMS and the 4th Generation Language these modules employ.

Strong emphasis is placed on the non-procedural nature of 4GL tasks, the order in which the 4GL directives are processed, and how to override the order of processing through the use of procedural blocks. The user will develop the skills required to effectively create complex reports and data management tasks. Complex reports may include two-pass and indented bill-of-materials reports.

Who Can Benefit

• Power users and super users
• Experienced users who want to perfect their report-writing skills and who have a need for the power and flexibility of a 4GL ReportWriter
• Users who have a requirement for transactional processing in a bulk update mode
• Users who wish to improve processing speed through the use of two-pass reporting
• Users who have installed ASG-Safari on VMS or UNIX® operating systems (Do not attend this class if you are using ASG-Safari on a Windows NT® or Linux operating system)

If you are currently using the Windows-based ASG-Safari 4GL tool to create 4GL tasks, it is recommended that you attend the course, "Concepts of ASG-Safari 4GL."
