So I am prompted to ask, is anyone doing serious coding in C on the AS400.
And if so what is the application and more interesting to me what style of
C code is being used?
I have C code in production that I used for ASN.1 serialise/deserialise
operations. Also, for socket operations. Both of these are wrappered
so that ILE RPG programs can call the functions.
Today I'm not sure I'd recommend using C for sockets; there are plenty
of RPG examples these days (thanks Scott!) But there are some
programming chores which C works well for, AND for which one can find
examples on the web.
Generally speaking, I do all my IBM i database work in RPG. I'd use C
for tool / interface type work. At home I use C to program PIC
microprocessors; another chore that uses no database. ish.
