ILE RPG Programmer's Guide


WebSphere Development Studio for System i

IBM Rational Development Studio for System i is an application development package to help you rapidly and cost-effectively increase the number of e-business applications for the System i5®. This package consolidates all of the key System i® development tools, both host and workstation, into one IBM® System i5 offering.

The host development tools have undergone major improvements. We are shipping new C and C++ compilers, completely refreshed from the latest AIX® compilers, to replace the existing versions of these compilers. This will help customers and solution providers port e-business solutions from other platforms. ILE RPG has also made major enhancements. Improved Java™ interoperability and free-form C-Specs top the list of enhancements. COBOL has added z/OS® migration capabilities as well as introducing some COBOL/Java interoperability capabilities.
