Also, screens developed for one target system can be converted to another. The following programming languages are supported: COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, C, and RPG. In reaction to customer requests, this Release 4 of SDF II expands the function of SDF II Release 3 to support workstation-based application development under MVS.

This new release provides many usability enhancements and functional improvements such as: • A new Graphical User Interface (GUI) on OS/2 or Windows** workstations • An improved Common User Access* (CUA*) based user interface for host environments • New data extraction and modification utilities SDF II MVS Release 4 is designed specifically to take full advantage of ISPF Version 4 which is only available under MVS. Therefore, SDF II Release 4 is also only available under MVS and ISPF Version 4 Release 1 for MVS is required for SDF II MVS Release 4. SDF II VM Release 3 (5664-307) is still available for VM customers. SDF II MVS Release 3 (5665-366) is still available for MVS/ESA customers who did not migrate to ISPF Version 4. Screen Definition Facility II (SDF II) is an application development tool that belongs to the Enterprise Application Development (Enterprise AD) market solution.

SDF II is primarily used by COBOL or PL/I programmers on MVS in maintaining, extending, and migrating existing applications that make use of non-programmable terminals (NPTs) or printers. • Increases productivity and quality, users of previous releases of SDF II already gained in application development. • Supports workstation-based application development.

• Exploits the functions of ISPF Version 4 Release 1 for MVS by: • Providing an OS/2 or Windows front end for SDF II • Improving the host user interface based on CUA guidelines. Other usability enhancements include performance improvements in the: • List Objects dialog • Area of batch generation SDF II Release 4 provides important functional improvements such as: • Simplified installation and customization • Enhanced ISPF SCLM support • Restructured documentation • Introducing a Data Extraction and a Modification Utility • Use of ISPF file tailoring in user exits • Improved Data Structure Name Import SDF II MVS Release 4 exploits new features of ISPF Version 4 Release 1 for MVS. Since ISPF Version 4 Release& Release 1 for MVS is required for this new release it only enhances SDF II for MVS, compared to SDF II Release 3 which is available for both, MVS and VM environments. Some enhancements that do not require ISPF Version 4 Release 1 for MVS are made available, or are already available, via PTFs for Release 3, before shipment of Release 4.
