Essentially Projex400 is a free ibm iseries application for as400 developers and operators. 

It's an application bursting with goodies designed to make life easier for every developer, operator and user of the IBM AS/400 iSeries i5/OS. Speeding application development and boosting problem investigation is going to save you time and money. Projex400 is, and always has been, free!

Projex400 has been around since 1990 (originally branded PGMRAID it was renamed PROJEX400 in 1994) and this library of commands and applets has multiplied many times over during this time. The bundle contains some really neat tools that enable you to use provided commands or menu options to present you with data in very readable formats.

Essentially PROJEX400 is a collection of Software tools; utilities, commands, procedures or any other way you choose to describe them.

iSeries RPG Editer straight from your laptop (AS400 SEU RPGLEAlternatives)

I've just stumbled across an open source RPG Source Editor thats built around a PC Editor called Eclipse - I've only ever used Eclipse for my very infrequent Java work so I'm very excited about this.

More details are at RPG NEXT GEN which looks very promising.

This site offers some resources for working with the programming language RPG (native on IBM System i). IMHO IBM has done a poor job so far providing the RPG programming community with any decent software development kit for RPG compared to the Java Development Kit offered by Sun to the java community. Some people might now argue that IBM has done a great job by providing WDSCi and EGL. But perhaps this is comparing apples with pears. Anyway ... where is the solution?

When is an IBM as400 an iSeries or System-i or maybe a Power System?

IBM PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO CALL MY AS400!!!!

Honestly, the constant rebranding that IBM is doing is really starting to get me down. I'm losing my sense of identity. I'm helplessly floating adrift in a world of business buzzwords and corporate power branding. I'm desperately trying to think outside the box, leverage this and that while interfacing with other team players and sending ideas up the flag pole or floating them down a river in a canoe... or something like that anway.

/me makes mental note to lay off Starbucks Triple Grande Latte tomorrow. before I really lose it.

Anyway, back to the point of todays rant.

IBM iSeries, System i - the total ebusiness solution

The IBM i Systems range have been through a number of name changes over the years: from Application System 400 (AS400) through iSeries and now to i5OS and System i. Whatever you call these business computers they are probably best described as a midrange system which has proved itself as the premier choice for businesses requiring a computer system capable of handling diverse business requirements ranging from Data Warehousing through to e-Commerce.

an old cisc as400When compared to any other midrange system it offers unsurpassed reliability, minimal downtime, low maintenance costs and the flexibility to take advantage of emerging technology. The IBM i System is the most widely used Midrange Business System in the world.

Here are a few of the reasons for each new generation of the AS/40's0 continued success as a platform for business applications:

the as400 is dead long live the iseries

The long-rumored and much-debated rebranding of IBM's disparate server lines, known under the code-name Mach1, was announced on October 3, just a few weeks before the fall COMMON midrange trade show in Baltimore. The AS/400 is henceforth known as the iSeries 400, not the I/500, as had been widely reported. But there's a lot more to Mach1 than renaming the AS/400. For the next several months, IBM is going to be blitzing the media and its customer base in an attempt to establish a new, unifying brand identity for its server lines, as well as new subbrand identities for the machines that used to be called AS/400s, S/390s, RS/6000s, Netfinities, and NUMA-Qs.
