Linking PowerHouse with Qedit
PowerHouse 4GL, by Cognos Incorporated, is comprised of several development tools: QUIZ, QUICK, QDESIGN, QTP, QDD and PDL. Qedit/MPE works well with PowerHouse for several reasons:
- PowerHouse can read Qedit files. This means that you can Open and Shut files, and can compile without having to first Keep. PowerHouse can read source files up to 256 characters wide, and thus supports all of Qedit’s language settings except Data.
- QUIZ, QDESIGN, QTP, QDD and PDL can be suspended, to make subsequent invocations faster, and less demanding of system resources.
- Qedit can be configured as the default PowerHouse editor, and can thus be invoked from within the PowerHouse tools.
- Qedit can edit PowerHouse subfiles.
Qedit takes advantage of these features to give you an integrated development environment for PowerHouse, where you can switch instantly between editing source files in Qedit, and compiling and testing in PowerHouse.
