With Maresware: Data Analysis you can access and analyze data from almost any source, mainframe to PC. You have the tools to extract, manipulate, and validate all your data and transactions. The programs are designed to process FIXED length records. Non-fixed length (or pipe delimited) records are quickly converted for PC use. And all Maresware affords you extremely rapid processing of files of virtually unlimited size. Read more below about the software and its advantages:

If you have csv files, they are little more complicated to reform to fixed length records. But with practice, and the right tools, the conversion can be made.

Key Features

• Speed and High capacity: Extremely rapid processing of files of virtually unlimited size (This design feature is engineered through the use of highly-efficient C-programming and by the development of non-integrated, highly-targeted individual programs.) Read our statistics on rapid processing.
• User Control: By selecting which program(s) to use, the user--not the software--determines each step of the analysis and specifies his preferred output format. All programs use similar command line options.
• Flexibility: Do streamlined single-step tasks or use any combination/sequence of programs for multi-step operations. Automate for unattended processing. And simplify repetitive tasks or set up continuous monitoring with familiar batch-file procedures.
• Comprehensive Audit trail: Document a complete history of your procedures and findings at every step. This documentation can be easily converted to batch file processing.
