HPE BASIC is a shareable language processor for the OpenVMS operating system. It can be invoked as a compiler and the resulting modules can be linked and run with standard OpenVMS commands. HPE BASIC provides high performance for application development by generating inline native mode instructions. HPE BASIC is also integrated with various programming productivity tools such as the OpenVMS Debugger, the Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE), the Source Code Analyzer (SCA) and the Performance and Coverage Analyzer.
