Mainframe only?

Post by Trudye » Wed Jul 15, 2009 1:38 am

A friend recommended Easytrieve because we operate in a Windows environment but we need to convert some packed fields to display.

My question is: does Easytrieve work in a Windows environment? Can I use it to convert packed (comp-3) to display. Is it easy to use?

I like the fact that your have a forum. The other software they recommended had no contact information at all.

Thank you,
Trudye

Thank you so much for responding so quickly. I looked at the suggested site and the description of functions. It appears to be a report generator rather than a file manipulation tool which is what I need.

Will this software unpack a packed field? Does it offer a 30 day trial so we may test it? And does it have a support forum like this one?

Thanx again,

on mainframes - yes it can.
i guess it should be able to do the same on windows.

regarding trail version - send a mail to ca.com customer help.
