DECset provides the same look and feel and consistent functionality across heterogeneous systems and across diverse languages. It is an efficient environment, populated with robust tools and unique capabilities. Highlights DECset serves as a common toolset for multiple application types. It can be used to develop and maintain a broad spectrum of applications. DECset provides consistent functionality on OpenVMS VAX and Alpha Systems to minimize training costs and provide flexibility in platform choice.
Programmers can use a common set of tools for different applications written in different languages.
It's not necessary to buy different programming environments to support development projects in different languages . The availability of a common toolset for multiple application types helps control investments in application development and minimizes training needs. Programmers can use one environment to satisfy a multiplicity of needs . Multiplatform toolset DECset provides consistent functionality across platforms. Again, programmer productivity and user portability are promoted, as programmers familiar with the tools and their functions on one platform can use them on another with minimal training.
