he BASIS International Advantage magazine is the premier technical resource for the BBx® Generations. To continue delivering
this valuable resource, BASIS made some format changes in recent issues and is introducing more enhancements in this issue.
The most noticeable addition was color-coded subject tabs in the margin of each article. These tabs help readers easily
identify and focus on articles of interest. The subject tab labels appear below and include the four BASIS technology
components.
Language/Interpreter
PRO/5®, Visual PRO/5®, and BBj® languages and their associated interpreters,
enhancements and additions
DBMS
The BASIS Database Management System, table types, ODBC/JDBC, and data storage and retrieval
Development Tools
Application development and management tools including the BASIS IDE, AppBuilder, and FormBuilder
System Administration
Enterprise management and configuration, user access control,
system resource management, installation, and managing BBx
environments
Partnership
Successes of BASIS Partners, strategic initiatives to strengthen the
partnership relationship, marketing, and technical support of BASIS partners
The index in each printed issue organizes the articles by these subjects. In addition, the perpetual index in the back of the
issue lists selected articles, categorically, that are enduringly pertinent. For a more comprehensive list, the online index
contains all past Advantage articles. The gateway to this wealth of information is available at www.basis.com/advantage/articleindex.html. And to locate a
particular article easily, the “Advanced Search” selection on any BASIS Web site page now searches all online Advantage
articles as well as the BASIS documentation, Knowledge Base, and entire Web site.
In an effort to provide readers with as much relevant information as possible without the space limitations of a printed
magazine, this issue debuts articles exclusively available on the Web site. To identify the e-articles, the titles appear in
the table of contents and index with a  symbol in place of a page number.
With all these changes, readers can easily obtain information by category or a particular article of interest. The abundance
of valuable information in the BASIS International Advantage is literally at your fingertips and will prepare and sustain you
for victory in the front lines of application development, deployment and support. And THAT is the BASIS Advantage advantage.
