About Surveyor/400 

The native AS/400 database, DB2/400, is a robust and proven relational database system. Unfortunately, it hasn’t always been easy to use or understand due to its cumbersome character-based interface. 

With Surveyor/400's modern graphical interface, you can now easily access and understand your DB2/400 information, as well as edit and export file data. Through the use of toolbars, buttons, pop-up menus and tab panels, Surveyor/400 is doing for DB2/400 what Windows did for DOS.

Surveyor/400’s interface is written in pure JAVA, meaning the product operates on Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT or any OS installed with a compliant JAVA virtual machine, including IBM’s new Network Station.
Since Surveyor/400 is written with a graphical interface, you no longer have to type in commands or function keys to work with your database. With its intuitive interface, virtually anyone that works with the AS/400 can productively and efficiently use Surveyor/400 including:

  • Work with database records (view, add, change and delete)
  • Download database files to your workstation
  • Work with spooled files including the option to convert them to a PDF or text format
  • Upload PC files into database files
  • View extensive object and database information
  • Create, alter and delete files
  • Create and run SQL statements
  • FTP objects between iSeries 400s
  • Manage and view IFS files
  • Generate DDS & DDL source code
  • Retrieve deleted records
  • Search for objects using complex criteria
  • Run 5250 emulation
  • Plus much more…
With its unique security mechanism, you keep control of what features are accessible by User ID. 
Ease of Installation Typically installs in a few minutes.
No need for IBM's Client Access Surveyor/400 connects directly to your AS/400 using TCP/IP, requiring no additional middleware.
Visual Tree The main interface is similar to Microsoft's Windows Explorer. Surveyor/400 allows you to quickly drill down into multiple AS/400s and their libraries. The libraries can be expanded to show physicals, logicals, stored procedures, fields, members, journals, formats, triggers and RI constraints.
Point and Click Interface Move around quickly using toolbars, buttons, pop-up menus and tabs.
Multitasking Open multiple windows of information for convenience.
Customizable GUI Choose a look-and-feel of Windows, Motif, or Java Metal.
Secure View only authorized information, since Surveyor/400 utilizes IBM's security and standard APIs.
Library Information View a library's true size, attributes, authority, locks, physicals, logicals and stored procedures
