Training in File Structures and AS400 Query
Conducted by Charlie Massoglia

Financial Systems File Structures
Would you like to know where and how your financial data is stored in your
JBA database?  Would you like to easily access that data from a variety of
AS/400 and PC based inquiry tools or download that data to Excel?  Come to
this session to learn how data is organized within JBA.
This introductory technical session is geared towards both IS and accounting
staff of all levels of expertise and would be of particular value to Query
users.

Using AS/400 Query to Produce Financial Reports
Would you like to produce your own financial reports without having to wait
until your IS staff has the time to help you?  Would you like to lessen your
dependence on programmers to extract information from your Financial
Systems?  Come to this session to learn how easy it is to use AS/400 Query
to produce your own financial reports.  This introductory technical session
is geared towards both IS and accounting staff of all levels of expertise
and presumes no previous AS/400 Query experience. It would be helpful,
though not mandatory, to attend the Financial Systems File Structures
session before this session.
