Sorry to correct on a small point; improved climb is never done when field length limited as it uses the excess field length to increase the climb out speed.
In the early days on the 737 we had to calculate our own improved climb figures. This we did by subtracting the climb from the field length RTOW then go into an improved climb chart for the allowable increase in RTOW and the increase in V2 speed required.
Improvements in computerisation allowed improved climb calculations when the T/O was limited by obstacles. These days you just read it off the charts.
