Application Development System Online (ADSO) is a tool used to expedite the writing and testing of modular applications using IDMS databases. 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.

ADSO or ADS/O or just ADS is originally Cullinet product, later company was acquired by Computer Associates.

ADS/O has three componenets ADSG, ADSA, ADSR.

ADSA (ADS Application): Used to develop and compile processes/applications

ADSG (ADS Map generator) : Used to generate the screens/Maps for online application and compile the maps.

ADSR (ADS Run time) : Is used to run the Maps and Application generated by ADSA and ADSG in live ADSR environment.


ADSO can be used to develop online or batch applications.
