Reader Reviews
I found this book to be very comprehensive, easy to read and understand, and very useful. I used it to replace reports that are generated by the iSeries with CSV files (Comma-Separated Value) that are transferred to our network where they can be opened with Excel. Once opened with Excel, they can be sorted any way the User wants, columns can be totaled on-the-fly, filters can be applied to the data, etc... I also used the information in the book to link files on the iSeries to tables in MS Access. I was able to take a file on the iSeries and find duplicate records without writing a program. I was also able to take two files on the iSeries and find records in one file that were missing from the second file, again, without writing any programs. Likewise, I was able to find records that were in both files. Talk about cool, you can even create data entry screens in Access that add/update data in the files on the iSeries. The screens in Access are GUI as opposed to the "Green Screens" on the iSeries. I've only begun to scratch the surface of this book. I'm looking forward to trying out some of the other techniques that are layed out by Chris and Brian. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
