M36 is an object; S36 is an environment.

M36 contains pretty much what was on the System/36 from which it was migrated: Libraries, data files (which are not in libraries on the /36), configuration, etc. It is object-compatible with the /36 program objects; no re-compile is necessary. The M36 has no real concept of the library list or CL. It was really a quick and dirty way to get /36 customers to the AS/400.

S36 is simply an environment. The QS36F library is required and programs (RPG II or COBOL, usually) have to be re-compiled to i5 objects. It may use the library list, can run CL commands interspersed within OCL (which is a pretty neat advantage).


I think the M36 has been deprecated by IBM, but the S36 is alive and well.

I don't think you need another controller.
I just logged onto a client's box that has S36 running on a 170. They have
virtual devices mapped to S36 device names.

Change S/36 Display IDs S/36 environment . . . . . . . . . . : #LIBRARY Type new/changed values, press Enter. AS/400 S/36 S/36 Default Display Display ID Printer ID J1 J1 J2 J2 J3 J3 L1 L1 L2 L2 L3 L3 VC VC QCONSOLE W@ P1 QPADEV000A WM QPADEV000E WQ QPADEV000F WR QPADEV000G WS

S36 Display IDs.

Have a 170 box with 1 workstation controller on V4R4. This controller just
controls 2 consoles and a twinax printer. All the other access is done thru
TCP/IP. We need to transfer to a S/36 machine using tfrm36. If we need more
devices on the 36 side than the controller supports, do we need to get
another workstation controller even though nothing will be physically
plugged into it? I tried mapping a virtual port (ie QPADEV0099) to a port on
the 36 side and the system didn't like it. Any tricks I need to know?
