In many legacy environments, such as IBM mainframes, the development tools available to programmers (i.e. TSO) do not provide the common productivity features currently available in modern Integrated Development Environments. These features include, for example, code completion, verification, function search, etc. This issue implies two different kinds of cost overruns: low productivity of the programmers and extra MIPS consumed due to avoidable compilation errors. With our tool Fast it is possible to solve both problems, providing developers of a modern development environment, increasing their productivity through code generation engines and reducing the number of compilation errors in the mainframe. In addition, Fast can be used with any programming language and code generation templates are fully customizable.
