ASG-Safari 4GL
for Creating and Executing Complex Reports and Data Management Tasks

ASG-Safari 4GL is a powerful, user-friendly, report writing and data management solution. While end-user reporting tools address a significant number of daily requests for information, these tools can be overwhelmed at times by the complexity of today’s data environments. In these cases, ASG-Safari 4GL is the perfect fit.

ASG-Safari 4GL’s “English-like” and non-procedural syntax helps you and your fellow power-users create reports quickly and easily, while still incorporating sophisticated conditional processing (if-then-else logic, multi-level conditional breaks, looping logic, etc.), complex calculations, and “on-the-fly” additions of supplemental data elements. You can incorporate a wide variety of user-defined report variables, as well as make calls to external 3GL functions for those exceptionally complex reporting requirements.

ASG-Safari 4GL also helps to streamline your data environment. Use it to create targeted data snapshots (data marts) for use with specific reporting or analytics projects. Not only will you reduce the overall amount of data transmitted across your network, thereby improving processing speed, but you will reduce the amount of data “noise” (unneeded fields, tables, joins) to which your colleagues are exposed.

Today’s increasingly complex business landscape often creates requests for information that simply overwhelm the capabilities of end-user focused reporting solutions. When reports require extensive calculations, compound if-then-else logic, or reorganization of the data for more efficient processing to produce the information requested, a more robust reporting and data management solution is required.

ASG-Safari 4GL is that solution. It fulfills complex requests for information and ensures that your solution is sufficiently robust to provide the right information to the right people at the right time.
