Most tools we use are either part of OS/400 or sold as LPO (Licensed
Program Offering). Look at the handook (found on the Softcopy Library CD
that came with your system) what LPO's are available. Performance tools
is an example of a useful LPO.

Look at any News/400 issue (the most important AS/400 magazine) or their
site (http://www.news400.com) to find out what third party tools are
available.

If you can't find what you're looking for, you may have to do some
programming yourself... Or consider another strategy. After all, the
AS/400 is not a mainframe. Don't treat it like one.
