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 |

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 DataEasejust 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 |

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. |

restore, both from a menu prompt and at the DOS command line, or within a BATCH file. |
