Jada Tools Plus+ IV for DataEase for DOS 5.x
(Please specify when ordering)

Have you ever needed to:
Checkmark Get into a DataEase system—but the system’s designer is not available and no one knows the High level username and password? Or have you ever created a set of menus and forgotten to give yourself access to the DataEase Main Menu?
Checkmark Delete a database that a user has accidentally created in the main database directory?
Checkmark Undelete a big chunk of records? Have you ever created a DQL like the following:
    
    for FORMNAME ;
    
        delete records with (FIELDNAME = 00042) .
    
        end .  -- main loop 
    
    

instead of

    for FORMNAME ;
    
        delete records with (FIELDNAME not = 00042) .
    
        end .  -- main loop
Checkmark Fix a corrupted RDRR or REPO form?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you’ll want to get your hands on Jada Tools Plus+ right now...because DataEase doesn't include these tools in the basic package. Jada Tools Plus+ also lets you sort your catalogues of Forms, DQL Procedures, relationships or menus alphabetically—and a whole lot more.

With Jada Tools, your clients will think that you’re a real DataEase Wizard!

Form, Field, Report and Menu features:
Forms
Form Trouble-shooter
  • Reorganizes forms quickly without system backup and restore.
  • Reorganizes indices (for those annoying “form inconsistent” messages).
  • Removes deleted forms.

Excellent for use with “SneakerNets” and power failures.

Insert text into a form Inserts ASCII text file into any form.
Rename a form Changes the name of a form in the RDRR file.
Remove a form Removes a form name from the RDRR file, but not at the DOS level.
Delete a form Deletes form name, all associated files (including data and index files) from the RDRR file and the data directory, even if the DOS file is missing.
Sort or Custom Reorder Form Names Sort or Custom Reorder Form Names in the Forms Record Entry Window.
Fields
Field Attributes Toggles (Switches) Allows resetting of YES/NO field definition attribute values (Required, Indexed, Unique, Prevent Data-Entry, Hide from Table View). Settings may be reset for all fields in the form simultaneously or each field individually.
Replicate a choice field Adjusts choice fields of the same name to the same choices across all like fields in the database.
Sorted list of field names Sorts form and/or report data-entry screen fields throughout the database. You can direct the report to a file or your printer, or to the screen.
Stylize field names Converts field names to upper, lower, or proper case. Data within the field is not changed.
Records
List Deleted Record numbers Lists Deleted Record numbers in data-entry order sequence.
Un-Delete Records Recovers all Deleted Records in any form (records deleted since the last time that form was reorganized).
Un-Delete and Save Records Undeletes and saves records into to a new, identical form created by Jada Tools in your database!
Reports
Extract a report query Creates an ASCII file of any DQL procedure. Files can then be edited with your word processor, inserted into any other procedure with Jada Tools, or imported for use with any other application.
Insert text into a report query Takes any ASCII text file and places it in any DataEase DQL procedure, for reparsing by DataEase.
List a report format Lists report format to a printer or screen.
Insert text into a report format Saves you lots of editing time in DataEase—just add the fields to your carefully prepared text layout.
Sort or Custom Reorder procedure names Arranges your reports any way you like. Move selected reports or blocks of reports elsewhere on the list.
Print Style manipulation Scans the Print Style screen for every report in the database and creates a table in the database to hold this information. You can then edit ALL print styles in DataEase, and use these new values to update the old, also using Jada Tools. This is a great way to globally change printer names or report destinations, especially if you have multiple locations with different directory names for the same application.
Menus
Menu Editor This tool is a powerful editor that allows easy repositioning of all menu lines within one menu and between all menus in a database. It also provides access to more functions than are available in DataEase alone.
Sort Menus Sorts Menus in any fashion you like.
System Forms and Enhancements
Reorganize System Forms Reorganizes your System Forms without performing a DataEase backup and restore, both from a menu prompt and at the DOS command line, or within a BATCH file.
Sort Relationships Sort Relationships by form names in the Relationship form.
Edit ZTERMDEF.DBZ Provides the same options as DataEase Developer, allows you to
  • Change the maximum number of open relationships.
  • Set records locking for forms during data entry.
  • Adjust screen refresh intervals.
  • Force a disk sort after “n” records have been selected.
  • Modify the index suppression algorithm.
User maintenance features
Add a user Add a user to the application (from outside the application without signing on). If you need a tool to add a High–level user using no menu except the DataEase Main Menu—this is the ticket!
List Users Allows you to read the user table, even if has been encrypted.
