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.
