doesn't tell us what files are there.

Introduction

The VA FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC) make it easy for developers to work with VA FileMan data in Delphi Applications. The components encapsulate the details of retrieving, validating, and updating VA FileMan data within a Delphi Application. This saves you from having to create your own custom remote procedure calls (RPCs) when you need to access VA FileMan data.

The VA FileMan components also include special enhanced features such as complete server-side error checking and data dictionary (DD) help.

If you're already familiar with Delphi, you can quickly create applications that retrieve and update VA FileMan data. The time needed to develop an Application to edit a set of VA FileMan fields with the VA FileMan components is comparable to the time to create the same Application using VA FileMan's character-based (roll-and-scroll) ScreenMan interface.

Documentation Features

  • Getting Started provides an overview, orientation, and installation instructions.
  • FMDC Components provides detailed information on each component, including properties and methods.
  • DBS Reference provides links to the web-based DBS documentation.
*About Web Links*

Some links in this help file connect to the VISTA System Design & Development (SD&D) web server. These links connect to VA FileMan documentation that is pertinent to using the VA FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC). All such links are indicated by the =+= icon:
