What is CA ADS?

The Application Development System (CA ADS) is a tool used to expedite the writing and testing of modular applications. Activities such as flow-of-control processing, data storage definition, data verification, editing, error handling, terminal input and output, menu creation, and menu display are specified by using a series of screens instead of conventional detailed code.

CA ADS can be used to develop online or batch applications. The following overview provides general information about each environment. Detailed information about CA ADS facilities is contained in the subsequent sections of this manual.
