Abstract

This paper describes the Tabsol Decision Table Preprocessor, a program product of the B.F. Goodrich Company. The Tabsol (Tabular systems oriented language) Preprocessor, itself written in ANSI Cobol, is designed to translate horizontalrule, extended-entry decision tables into equivalent Cobol statements. Design objectives, language format and implementation results of the Tabsol Preprocessor are summarized in this paper. This preprocessor has been in full production use by the Information Systems Department of B.F. Goodrich Chemical Company since January 1971.
