  • Four Hundred Monitor, May 4

    May 4, 2022 Jenny Thomas

    Today, May 4, or, “May the 4th be with you,” is a celebration of all things Star Wars. As fans know, the fourth day in May became Star Wars Day because of the turn of phrase, “May the Force be with you,” used by Jedi masters in the movies. Yesterday, May 3, was a celebration for the IBM i, albeit without a fancy name. Announcement Day isn’t always on May 3, but it’s a big deal no matter what day it falls on in our ecosystem. We will have lots of news and analysis coming from our IBM i masters in the coming weeks, and this week we want to direct your attention to all the breaking announcement coverage.

    TL Ashford writes software to generate Barcode Labels and Forms for the IBM i.

    Our software products are the most feature-rich, cost-effective solutions available!

    TLAForms converts traditional IBM i spool files into high quality, professional forms that are output as PDF documents. A form is associated with a spool file and the form is designed. TLAForms then ‘watches’ the IBM i output queue for a new spool file to be generated. When a new spool file is generated, TLAForms reads the data from the spool file, places the data on the form, and outputs a PDF document. The PDF documents can be archived to the IFS, automatically emailed, and printed.

    Features:

    • Select Data directly from an IBM i Spool File
    • Burst IBM i Spool Files based on page or Spool File data
    • Add spool file data to form as Text using a wide variety of fonts and colors (the MICR font for printing checks is included in the software)
    • Add spool file data to form as bar code – including 2-dimensional bar codes PDF-417 and QRCode
    • Configure SQL statements to retrieve and use IBM i File data on forms
    • Utilize Actions to show or hide objects on the form based on data within the spool file
    • Import Color Graphics
    • Use Color Overlays
    • Create Tables
    • Forms can be archived to the IFS
    • Forms can be emailed automatically
    • Forms can be printed to any IBM i, Network or Windows printer
    • Forms are automatically generated when a new spool file is generated in the IBM i output queue
    • NO PROGRAMMING required
    • On-Line Video Training Library
