  • IBM i PTF Guide, Volume 23, Number 14

    April 12, 2021 Doug Bidwell

    Apologies to all in the IBM i community for being late for putting together the IBM i PTF Guide last week. Sometimes real life interferes with business life, as you all know well. So this is a catch up issue of the Guide, with everything back on track with an update to get current coming out in this Wednesday’s issue of The Four Hundred.

    Editor’s Note: It goes without saying that we all owe a big hearty thanks to Doug Bidwell for his tireless efforts over many decades in keeping track of the patches for the firmware, operating system, and system software for the OS/400 and IBM i platform. Super Doug, as he is known amongst many of his IBM i peers, is just that: A one-of-a-kind IBM i superhero.

    Now, back to our previously scheduled IBM i PTF Guide. . . .

    OCEAN Special Event: No fooling in April! Two excellent educational events you don’t want to miss.

    Friday, April 16 at 8:30 a.m. PT – SQL expert and IBM champion Birgitta Hauser will lead an enlightening half-day workshop on Advanced Embedded SQL. Please use this link for details and registration.

    Tuesday, April 20 at 6:00 p.m. PT – IBM’s lead RPG compiler developer Barbara Morris will review What’s New for RPG. Please see this link for details and registration.

    OCEAN MEMBERS: If you missed Birgitta Hauser’s JSON and SQL workshop, you can now access the recording and the handout through April 18, 2021. You can do that at this link here.

    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.
