Desktop Tools

Use popular, off-the-shelf, front-end tools and applications to access data that's locked away on the mainframe

ViaSQL™ gives your desktop applications direct ODBC and JDBC access to z/OS and VSE data sources. Use SQL to access VSAM, IMS, DL/I, DB2, and Datacom data. 

Execute SQL SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements. ViaSQL also supports SQL GRANT and REVOKE statements so that data is kept secure and protected.
Or use the same desktop applications to execute CICS and batch programs. Access other data sources, return result sets, or perform special processing that may not be possible or appropriate using SQL.
Build sophisticated, multi-tiered, client/server architectures that support your OLTP and decision support applications
