Forte UDS 5.1.8 Syntax

I am primarily a C# programmer with some java experience. We have an application that we purchased that uses Forte UDS 5.1.8. The syntax is easy to figure out but there is one thing that I have not been able to find documentation on. It is database or a structure that corresponds to the database. The syntax looks like this:

<tablename.columnname> = "whatever"

<tablename.columnname> = 1

numAVar = <tablename.columnname>

numOfRows = <tablename.count>

The < and > are part of the syntax.

Does anyone recognize this as being TOOL technology or is it possibly a part of a 3rd party preparser?

Thanks!
