QuestView is the leading cost-effective, time-saving database utility. It became the market leader by incorporating powerful programming capabilities enabling the user to save the "views" of the AS/400 database as programs, eliminating the need to repeat keystrokes. QuestView gives you instant access to your AS/400 and J.D. Edwards data files for viewing, editing, and creating programs for end-user applications. The newest version is offered as Release 8.7 for RISC and 7.6 for CISC CPUs.

QuestView 8.7 also offers automatic
handling of variable-length fields, global search and
delete, and dynamic file joining. Its justification
support allows you to move the contents of any field to
the left, right, or center. In addition to its ability to
scan for decimal data errors, QuestView 8.7 can also
correct those errors.
QuestView Outperforms DFU
QuestView outperforms DFU and other similar products by providing sub-second response to on-the-fly database viewing and updating in single and multiple-record display modes. Something which normally takes 20 minutes or even hours (depending on your programming abilities) takes only seconds with QuestView.
New Features
- Edit and display ASCII
- Edit and display UNICODE, including UNICODE key fields
- MultiScan, which allows you to scan for different values in different fields, and ViewJoiner, a utility for automatically generating join logical files (temporary or permanent). We also now support 64-bit binary ("BIGINT") fields.
Easy Program Generation
For repetitive data access, such as ongoing database maintenance, QuestView facilitates fast, easy program generation for distributed, end-user applications providing the same simplicity and speed. Simply save your existing view of a specific data file as an AS/400 program object and users will be able to run that program as you've defined it. And, since it is an AS/400 program object, it can call and be called by other programs, and pass parameters to and from other programs. QuestView and View programs can also harness the power of the OS/400 Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command.
QuestView enables you to increase your productivity by viewing and editing AS/400 data files on the fly without any prior compilation or programming. You can save thousands of programming hours by creating QuestView programs in minutes... perfect for maintenance and data inquiry/update programs.
