The latest version of the classic standby offers multiple options for exporting or transferring data. Users can now export files to an Integrated File System (IFS) directory in a column-delimited format to view in any spreadsheet program. This allows users to more easily read, organize, and share information in a database. Users also can transfer selected records of a file to a new file or to an existing file, which is useful for creating test files without compromising the original file.
Version 8.0 includes improved scan management capabilities. Users can save scan definitions and retrieve them later for use, edit and organize saved scan definitions, include scans-and-replaces in batch job streams, and send scan results directly to a column-delimited file.
The release also provides new options for viewing records. A new viewing mode, Expanded EZFIELD, provides more heading and text information to allow users to see all the available fields for a record. Users can press a function key to quickly switch between 10 different viewing modes.
EASY VIEW displays binary fields in three standard buffer lengths, with higher numerical limits that are more compatible with binary data from other platforms.
