This raises a point to consider.  There are a few web sites
out there that offer RPG source code, but it's not easy to
find them.

One of the strengths of the web is the ability to link to
other sites.  If you manage an AS/400 related web site,
please consider adding a "links" page to other AS/400
related pages to give more exposure to the rest of the
information out there.


BTW, Apart from http://www.as400.ibm.com/snippets, I know
of the following.  As far as I can tell, none of these
link to any other RPG source code pages.

http://www.springfieldtn.net/users/leslier/
http://www.bvstools.com/
http://www.tnt400.com/codepage400.htm
http://www.rpgiv.com/

Oh BTW, a FAST search came up with this list of AS/400
link pages:
