  • An AS400/iSeries User Group That Is Still Kicking

    November 3, 2008 Hey, TPM

    My name is Anthony Leach, Sr., and I am one of the organizers of our AS400/iSeries user group. We used to be called the Sacramento Midrange User Group or SMUG. We are now the Power Sacramento Users Group or Power SURG.

    We have been around for quite some time now and recently renamed ourselves to better reflect the changes to the platform. We have regular meetings at least three times a year and thanks to IBM‘s generosity, we hold these at the IBM offices in Sacramento. And anyone who is interested is welcome to attend and join up!

    I guess after reading the article about another group closing down, I just wanted to let everyone know that there are still AS400 groups around, we just go by a new name, just like our beloved system!

    Thanks for listening!

    Anthony L. Leach, Sr., Power Sacramento Users Group–Power SURG

    Get More Out of Your IBM i

    With soaring costs, operational data is more critical than ever. IBM shops need faster, easier ways to distribute IBM applications-based data to users more efficiently, no matter where they are.

    The Problem:

    For Users, IBM Data Can Be Difficult to Get To

    IBM Applications generate reports as spooled files, originally designed to be printed. Often those reports are packed together with so much data it makes them difficult to read. Add to that hardcopy is a pain to distribute. User-friendly formats like Excel and PDF are better, offering sorting, searching, and easy portability but getting IBM reports into these formats can be tricky without the right tools.

    The Solution:

    IBM i Reports can easily be converted to easy to read and share formats like Excel and PDF and Delivered by Email

    Converting IBM i, iSeries, and AS400 reports into Excel and PDF is now a lot easier with SpoolFlex software by DRV Tech.  If you or your users are still doing this manually, think how much time is wasted dragging and reformatting to make a report readable. How much time would be saved if they were automatically formatted correctly and delivered to one or multiple recipients.

    SpoolFlex converts spooled files to Excel and PDF, automatically emailing them, and saving copies to network shared folders. SpoolFlex converts complex reports to Excel, removing unwanted headers, splitting large reports out for individual recipients, and delivering to users whether they are at the office or working from home.

    Watch our 2-minute video and see DRV’s powerful SpoolFlex software can solve your file conversion challenges.
