Re: Optimistic RPG request...

I don't believe that there are any freeware PC compilers.  The writers 
want bucks.

If you can snag a copy of CODE/400 or WDSC then it can verify local code.

There are some el cheapo timesharing sites for iSeries you can subscribe 
to to develop 400 code.  For raw RPG this should work.  The home 400 is 
for those who want to delve more into the system side or other stuff which 
either scares the bejeesus out of the timesharing services or is just not 
easy / cost effective for them to support.

Optimistic RPG request...






I have been unemployed for sometime.  One of the last things I got
before being made redundant was a programming in RPG/400 tutorial book.
I was wondering, in a mad fit of optimism, is there such a thing as a
freeware PC RPG compiler that I can use to teach myself with?  I just
need it to be 'stand alone' on the PC - I don't have an AS/400 lying
around in the garage.  It doesn't even need to generate executable
programs - just check my syntax and confirm that the program would work.
OK, I know I'm pushing my luck, but sometimes to get pertinent answers
you have to ask impertinent questions!!!
As I'm here, a general thank you to all the posters throughout the years
who have helped my SQL come on in leaps and bounds - at least that is
something I can practise on my PC!
