Description
DIGITAL CLASSIFIED SOFTVVARE
PRODUCT NAME: PRO/Tool Kit DIBOl, Version 1.6

DESCRIPTION:
PRO/Tool Kit DIBOL is a high level procedural language designed specifically for interactive business
data processing. It runs on the Professional 350 computer as an optional software component to the PRO/Tool Kit
The DIBOL program development process consists of
compiling the DIBOL source program using the
DIBOL-83 compiler, linking the object programs with
external subroutines and library modules, and developing any required help or menu frames with the
Frame Development Toolan the Professional 350. The
application can then be executed and debugged on
Professional 350 with hard disk.
PRO/Tool Kit DIBOL is based on the DIBOL Standards
Organization's DIBOL-83 definition of the language.
PRO/Tool Kit DIBOL is highly compatible with DIBOL83 implementations on other operating systems,
including RSTS/E, RSX-11 M-PLUS, CTS-300 and
VAXNMS as well as Professional Host Tool Kit DIBOL
which allows applications to be developed for the Professional 300 series computers on VAX, RSX-11 M, and
RSX-11 M-PLUS systems. It also provides Professional
Series 300 specific extensions while retaining the
capabilities and advantages of DIBOL-83.

nique. The run-time library, which is required to execute programs written in DIBOL on the Professional
and the run-time error message file are distributed as
part of the P/OS operating system.
DIBOL-83 Language Description:
A DIBOL program is separated into two major parts: a
Data Division and a Procedure Division. The Data Division defines the data that is used by the program. The
Procedure Division contains the executable statements.
-rhe first element in most DIBOL statements is an English language verb that characterizes the action to be
performed. The other elements of the statement are
data names, references to statement labels, and/or
expressions. DIBOL statements fall into the following
categories:
Compiler Directives provide information about the
program to the compiler.
Compiler Declarations provide information about the
program structure to the compiler.
Data Specification Statements define the data used in
the program.
Data Manipulation Statements perform conversions
and value assignments.

DIBOL provides efficient terminal handling and efficent access to the RMS-11 Record Management Services (RMS-11); RMS provides sequential, relative and
mUlti-key indexed record access. Other facilities such
as FMS, PRO/Sort, PRO/Graphics, and system Menu,
Message and Help routines are available as external
subroutine calls.

Control Statements modify the order of statement
execution.

DIBOL-83 supports a set of language statements
commonly referred to as structured constructs. These
statements are designed to complement and facilitate
desirable programming practices.

Universal External Subroutine Library

The DIBOL-83 compiler reads source modules and
produces object modules and listings. The listings
produced contain embedded diagnostics as well as
optional symbol and label table information.
PRO/Tool Kit DIBOL includes a compiler, external
subroutine libraries and the DIBOL Debugging Tech-

Intertask Communications Statements allow communication between programs.
Input/Output Statements move data between memory
and I/O devices.

This library contains external subroutines which are
available and perform the same functions on all
DIBOL-83 implementations.
Operating System Specific Library
This library contains external subroutines which are
available and perform similar functions on one or more
of the DIBOL-83 implementations.
