PowerHouse
PowerHouse is a popular fourth generation language from Cognos Corporation. PowerHouse has a number of components, only a few of which are described here: QDD, a data dictionary; QUICK, an on-line transaction processor; QTP, a batch transaction processor; and QUIZ, a report writer. They all employ nonprocedural languages that should speed development and reduce maintenance. All modules of PowerHouse will read Qedit files (original format) where appropriate, including the native-mode versions on MPE/iX.
