DTM for iSeries
DTM for iSeries is a native iSeries Data/Text Merge solution, using the reliable
and scalable iSeries platform for performing Data/Text Merge operations.
Data/Text Merge is the process of merging database information into text documents
in order to generate mailings or custom made letters and reports. Shell (input)
documents contain static text, lay-out information and programming instructions
to retrieve data from different data sources.
DTM for iSeries is an effective replacement for the Data/Text Merge functionality
of the recently withdrawn IBM OfficeVison/400. DTM for iSeries replaces and surpasses
the Data/Text merge capabilities of OfficeVision/400
Because of the flexibility of the XML architecture of DTM for iSeries, a wide range
of output formats is available when printing or exporting documents. Exported documents
allow easy integration into other applications.
Several optional features and toolkits are available, such as an OV/400 Transition
Feature (for easy migration from OfficeVision/400), a 5250 User Interface (for editing
documents from a green screen) and an MS Word User Interface (for editing documents
using MS Word).
Benefits
- Allows easy production of data text merge documents
- Seamlessly replaces the mail merge facilities of OfficeVision/ 400
- Microsoft Word interface allows easy editing of documents
