On-Demand Customer Session: IBM i Database Field Resizing with X-Resize 

Automatically Resizing IBM i Database Fields with Fresche’s X-Resize Solution

As companies expand, they often outgrow the size of the fields in their databases. Will some of the fields in your IBM i environment soon be too small for invoice or item numbers, codes, or other data? Field expansion creates numerous cascading changes throughout an application, potentially causing many code-related problems. This can make it almost impossible to manually expand the fields.

Ray Everhart and John Westcott discuss how Fresche’s X-Resize solution automatically resizes database fields and all fields in affected programs.

You’ll learn about the advantages of automated field resizing and how this approach:

• Removes the risk of human error
• Provides a detailed impact assessment for all instances for the resize project
• Eliminates the guess work and automatically handles all aspects of the resizing task
