I'm no AS400 expert but we need to provide better reporting until we
migrate to a newer system.

Jamal, what do you mean by "provide better reporting"? Most of the comments
in this discussion are geared toward end-users needing tools. That begs the
question, are you more interested in a tool for end users? Or a tool for
developers?

Developers may just use in-the-box interfaces such as STRSQL and IBM i
Navigator to build SQL Views, while end-users may need "wizards" for
building and cataloging queries.

Do reports need to be part of a periodic process? Or just ad-hoc querying?
