Preview of 6.0 Features
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
- BASIS IDE
- Thin client execution – optionally starts a thin client connection to a remote server that executes the source code
thereby facilitating server centric development
- Legacy BBx execution – adds support for PRO/5® and BBxPROGRESSION/4® interpreters

LANGUAGE/INTERPRETER
- BBjAPI::getBBjPDFForm() – automatically obtains a BBjPrinter object and returns a BBjForm that allows printing a
document to a PDF file.
- BBjControl – implements the Focusable interface, allowing the programmer to specify if the control can
receive focus (input from the keyboard).
- SAVEP/CLEARP Verb – saves a program with an optional password; sets its protected status, which is not
listable. Using the same password argument with the CLEARP verb allows restoration of the program to a listable state.
