Focus is a fourth generation language that provides ad-hoc reporting from the BGSU administrative databases for BGSU clients and Information Technology Services' analysts and programmers. The Focus Interface presents an online environment in which clients can write focexecs or Focus programs, maintain focexec libraries, develop and submit focexecs, and receive output. In order to use Focus you must have a CICS account. Refer to CICS FAQs for how to get a CICS Account.
Most clients only have access to certain databases.
For security purposes, you must complete and submit a form to be approved for access to AFIN , AHRS , and SIS . Focus consists of three types of libraries including a common library, departmental libraries and personal libraries. The common library is available to all users. These programs were written for academic departments and colleges. Departmental libraries are only available to members of a person's own department.
