Modern Development Solutions for RPG Programmers
ASNA Visual RPG (AVR) is a modern implementation of RPG that enables RPG developers to easily build Web and Windows applications. AVR provides direct, secure, and fast access to both files and program objects on IBM’s System i (formerly known as iSeries, AS/400) server. Using a familiar, but modernized syntax, RPG programmers can quickly apply their long-standing RPG experience to create modern applications that connect seamlessly to the System i (iSeries, AS/400) platform.
AVR: Evolutionary Development Solution
AVR for .NET is an RPG compiler for Microsoft’s .NET Framework. AVR enables RPG programmers to modernize existing RPG applications, develop Web services, and extend System i applications to .NET and the inherent benefits of Service Oriented Architecture. All of this can be done while continuing to program with a familiar, RPG-like syntax.
Business Benefits from AVR
- AVR integrates into Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2003/2005/2008 and compiles to 100% verifiable Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL).
- Asset preservation of accumulated business knowledge and of past development investments.
- Extension of the RPG source code into industry standards (XML, SOAP, Rich Internet Application, and so on).
- Rapid program development-enjoy both worlds: the productivity of RPG and the benefits of the modern Visual Studio IDE.
- AVR unifies the RPG and the .NET development teams into one, collaborative development team.
- Cross-platform application development for the System i and Windows platforms.
- Windows and browser-based interfaces at your command.
- Data transparency between Windows-based applications and the System i database.
