Northern Illinois Gas has, for the past 20 years, maintained corrosion control records using a "flat file" magnetic tape mainframe system. This system, although good at record keeping, offered little interactive data interpretation and/or decision making applications.

Utilizing the mainframe Logic and Information Network Compiler Language (LINC), the system has been expanded and converted to an "on-line" interactive mainframe database system. The new system has improved our access to corrosion control data and significantly increased our capability to make immediate corrosion management decisions.
