FAQ

What is FIELDPROC, and do I need it?

Midland Information Systems sells, supports, and migrates AS400 and IBM i Power Systems hardware and software, from legacy AS400 environments through the current IBM Power 11 line, plus Managed SIEM services for IBM i shops replacing self-run Splunk.

FIELDPROC is a DB2 for i feature that automatically encrypts and decrypts specific database columns at the field level, without requiring existing RPG or COBOL programs to be rewritten. It's most often relevant when an audit finding, compliance requirement, or cyber-insurance questionnaire flags unencrypted sensitive fields (Social Security numbers, account numbers, etc.) in an older IBM i database that predates encryption being a design consideration.
