D2Cell data mining utility

Published:01 December 2000Publication History

ABSTRACT

D2Cell is a Data Mining utility for Windows based PCs, that downloads custom Mainframe DB2 data directly into Microsoft Excel. One may use the self-contained Wizard to automatically generate SQL for processing. One may also simply type in their own SQL statements, or cut and paste from another source such as QMF or SPUFI. In any case, the Results Viewer will allow you to display the results, and modify when necessary, before exporting to Excel. A feature called Db2Explorer was recently added which further extends the functionality of data mining and includes several database visualization techniques.D2Cell is currently in use by over 275 internal users at Primerica Financial Services (PFS). It is a very popular and well-liked application, and has saved countless hours in every department it has been installed. The D2Cell application is very stable and has been in use for about a year and a half. The program source code, not counting bitmaps and help documents is only 210 kilobytes, and will run on a machine as small as a 486 with 8 meg of memory. The 210 kilobytes is composed of 25 screens and 2119 lines of Dyalog APL code.PLEASE NOTE: The results and data shown in this document were produced using test or altered data. In No Instance has production information been displayed due to client confidentiality.
