That's for the input.  What is the "AS/400 toolbox"?

I have used the VisualAge tools and used the VA-RPG tool for some minor
things. I found it fun and useful. For RPG guys, it is not that difficult   

to pick up the few new opcodes.

At this point in time, though, I would recommend looking into VA for Java   

and the AS/400 toolbox. Betas for both are out, and IBM has clearly
stated that this is the future direction for programming on the AS/400.

You have to ask yourself, "How often can I afford to be
unexpectedly out of business?" Get an AS/400.
