TPF FILE MANAGEMENT & Maintenance

Increased accessibility to interact with TPFDF files using developer-friendly GUI for maximized productivity and optimized training

DF Explorer is an easy-to-use graphical interface, which simplifies the online maintenance of the TPFDF files. It is inclusive with both z/TPFGI and ALCS/GI. The online maintenance involves the browsing, adding, deleting or modifying the logical records (LRECs) of fixed or pool or index files. The simplified interface design reduces the end-user training time, and increases the production efficiency, by eliminating the need to learn and remember long commands and to use any menu-drive abilities.
