SPF/PC (1984-2017) by Command Technology was originally an MS-DOS/PC implementation of IBM's mainframe ISPF text/data browser/editor and set of programmer utilities.

SPF/PC is a complete integrated applications development environment (IDE) typically used for editing source code, invoking compilers, linkers, and debuggers, in a variety of programming languages, such as ADA, ASM, BASIC, BASH, BATCH, C, C++, C#, COBOL, FORTRAN, JAVA, Pascal. Almost any programming language can be edited with SPF/PC and most compilers can be called by SPF/PC which makes it as close to a universal programmer editor/IDE as you can get.

SPF/PC = System Productivity Facility for Personal Computers (IBM)

Operating Systems:

  MSDOS, DRDOS, PCDOS, FREEDOS, DOSBOX, DOSEMU, 16-bit Windows Command Box (95/98/ME/2K/NT/Vista?/7)
  DOSBOX and DOSEMU use FREEDOS

  Windows (95/98/ME/2K/NT/Vista?/7/8/10) and Linux, MAC, FreeBSD, Solaris using Wine
  32-bit OS

                Adding a .fon file to this folder will be picked up by SPFPRO/SPFSE/SPFSE365 when you re-enter SPF.
                Free public domain fonts for SPFPRO/SPFSE/SPFSE365 available at http://www.manmrk.net/tutorials/ISPF/TERMINAL.zip

                SPF keeps personalizations, commonly used profiles, colorization files, macros, etc. folder called SPF-OPTIONS with
                two sub folders called Graphic and Standard.  These folders also contain your license information.

                Windows:  \users\SPF-Options

                   wine:  /root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/SPF-Options

                After installing SPFSE/SPFSE365 be sure to backup/copy this folder along with your SPFSE/SPFSE365 folder and it's sub-folders. 

                When restoring SPFSE/SPFSE365 from your backup copy place the SPF-Options folder into the \user\root or /root/.wine/drive_c/users/root
                folder prior to first execution after restore to prevent SPFSE/SPFSE365 from requiring re-licensing your software.

SPFPC REXX Special Variables

 RC        Return code 0 = success <> 0 error occured
 RESULT    Contains returned value from called routine
 SIGL      Contains procedure name and line number of calling function
           whenever a control flow jump is made via CALL or SIGNAL.

SPFPC REXX Trace Processing

   TRACE A  /* TRACE ALL CLAUSES   */
   TRACE C  /* TRACE COMMANDS      */
   TRACE E  /* TRACE ERRORS        */
   TRACE F  /* TRACE FAILURE       */
   TRACE I  /* TRACE INTERMEDIATES */
   TRACE L  /* TRACE LABELS        */
   TRACE N  /* TRACE NORMAL        */
   TRACE O  /* TRACE OFF           */
   TRACE R  /* TRACE RESULTS       */
   TRACE S  /* TRACE SCAN          */

  Trace output:

   nn ccc    DO WHILE (position <= LENGTH(filename))

   Where:
   nn        Represents the line number of the REXX statement being executed.
   ccc       The next three characters identify the trace line as one of the
             following:

             *-*  source code
             +++  trace message
             >>>  result of an expression
             >.>  value assigned to a placeholder
             >V>  variable contents of a string
             >L>  literal string
             >F>  function call string
             >P>  prefix operation string
             >O>  operation on two terms string
             >C>  compound variable string

   During interactive tracing, after each line of output the user can enter
   any valid REXX statement to be executed immediately enabling
   variables to be modified with an assignment, variables to be
   queried with a SAY statement and execution to be terminated by the use of
   an explicit EXIT statement if, say, a loop is detected.

   If during testing of a procedure, a loop occurs and tracing is not active,
   pressing Control/Break interrupts the procedure, typing exit terminates
   the procedure.
