The aim of this paper is to describe HIBOL from the point of view of its suitability for fast prototyping of business data processing applications. This suitability stems basically from the fact that HIBOL (or its special editor) allows for a very convenient definition of the user interface as form templets which can be either bound to a crt-terminal, to formatted print output or structured input/output from other edp media. Using HIBOL, the prototyping activity consists of 5 phases: activity definition, definition of form templets, definition of elementary data types, definition of the actual computations and an optional optimization phase.
