cData Table Editor

FreeFall
Is there an existing Table Editor written in NetRexx?

When Peter Hill and I worked in the old P block (hut) at Hursley in  
the 1980's, Peter Hill wrote something called cData.   It was a table  
editor that provided a user interface to allow users to safely edit a  
diversity of simple tables.   It displaced the need for bespoke user  
interfaces for each simple table then in use.   For every table it  
needed to update, it had a meta table.   For each field in the target  
table, there was a record in the meta table that specified how that  
field could be updated, format, program name to generate a value  
etc.   And of course, there existed a meta meta table that allowed the  
meta tables to be edited!

As I'll be using a bunch of simple tables, I thought it a good idea to  
write a similar table editor.

Then I thought, perhaps someone else has already done it.   If you  
have such a program for free distribution, please let me know.

The I thought that perhaps there is a library of Free Distrubition  
NetRexx sourcecode, if so, please let me know.

Thanks, Connor.
