Hi, Rob,
I found this old manual (Redbook) that mentions it on page 35:
https://www.krsaborio.net/unix/research/acrobat/9511-a.pdf ;
Also, google says:
Based on the provided information, 5798-RZB IBM Connection Program/400 for UNIX Environments appears to be a specific product or component enabling interaction between IBM's AS/400 (also known as IBM iSeries or System i) and UNIX-based systems. Here's what the search results suggest about its function:
- Facilitates communication and resource sharing: 5798-RZB, along with 5798-TBE for RISC architectures, allows IBM AS/400 to share resources like printers and perform file transfers with various UNIX workstations, including IBM AIX, Solaris Sparcstations, and HP 9000 series machines.
- Utilizes TCP/IP and APPC/SNA: This communication between AS/400 and UNIX environments is achieved through the use of TCP/IP and APPC/SNA communication protocols.
- Focuses on connectivity and integration: The program's name itself, "Connection Program/400 for UNIX Environments", signifies its purpose in enabling connectivity and integration between these different operating systems.
In essence, 5798-RZB IBM Connection Program/400 for UNIX Environments seems to be a solution designed to bridge the gap between the IBM AS/400 and UNIX systems, allowing them to communicate and share resources effectively. An interesting old find. Perhaps SAVLICPGM to a save file for posterity?
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

One of the LPP's on it that I am finding is
5798RZB *BASE 5001 IBM Connection Program/400 for UNIX Environments
Release: V2R2M0
I'm assuming this is just something left over from way back and can't
possibly be in use, right?
Library is QEUX
There are no locks for WRKOBJLCK OBJ(QEUX) OBJTYPE(*LIB)
Can I just delete this LPP? Is this something which predates TC1 or some
such thing?
