Re: OS400 vs AIX

He has not had an “AS/400” for quite some time.

As to reengineering to run in AIX, yes you can build a new application in one of the languages that Eric pointed out earlier, but a better question is will the application run on the open source databases available, I think Progress is one of them.

Some more thinking needs to go on before a wholesale application development etc. happens.

I think you're talking a full REIMPLEMENTATION...

Good luck...you're going to miss your AS/400....

I have an iSeries application, written in ILE, which runs in the OS400/DB2
environment.

What does it take to run that same application in an AIX//Progress DB
environment?

I'm assuming it takes more than a simple recompile.
