Java Examples

In this repo I've added the source code for a GUI application I designed from scratch to interact with records in a DB2 database hosted on an IBM AS400.

It is called "pickMaint" because the smallest unit of production at a typical textile mill is a "pick". At the time this was written there was an incentive pay program in place that paid out weekly bonuses to machine operators depending on their performance (measured in 1000s of picks per hour).

This program eliminated the necessity of many tedious "green-screen" utilities on the AS400 mainframe; as a part of a suite of applications I created that reduced the labor for this weekly task from 10-15 hours per week to about 5 hours per week.

The main class is Editor.java and also of interest is AS400Interface.java.

All of this code was written and documented by me.
