Overview of the SAS/C Cross-Platform Compiler and C++ Development System

Why Use the SAS/C Cross-Platform Compiler and C++Development System

There are several benefits to using the SAS/C Cross-Platform Compiler and C++ Development System to generate code for the mainframe.

Reduced mainframe load
By moving compilations off of the mainframe, mainframe CPU cycles are preserved for other users. This can amount to a significant reduction in mainframe requirements, directly translating into a cost savings.

Improved source management
Developers may take advantage of improved source management tools, as well as hierarchical file systems.

Improved build management
Developers may take advantage of improved build management tools, such as make utilities.

Improved compilation turnaround
In a heavy development environment, developers often find that performing compilations locally can result in a better turnaround time.
