IceBreak
- ASP Logic on IBM System i |
|
Break the ice with ASP
logic on IBM System i. IceBreak imageIceBreak is
the most advanced, yet easy to comprehend server
technology, that enables you to build web applications
on the IBM System i server platform. You can even
reuse your RPG coding skills and legacy code!
Instead of using SEU or WebSphere, you will
be using web design tools like Frontpage, Dreamweaver
or similar the choice is yours.
The HTML code which is extended with ASP is converted
online into a native RPG program object. It happens
when you save your web project onto the the IFS
on your IBM System i server, and refresh the page
in your browser.
Compile time errors ...
If you make a typing error in the ASP source or
make some other mistake that prevents the RPG-compiler
from producing a program object - you will have
the post list shown instead of the result that the
program produces.
This post list is formatted in a way that highlights
and bookmarks the errors, in order for you to jump
between the error summary and the place in the source
where the problem occured.
After you have fixed the error in your web-editor
and saved it, the IceBreak server is ready to reproduce
the program and run it.
With IceBreak you are able to create very efficient
web application - running directly on an IBM System i
server as a compiled program, and due to the IceBreak
native server your applications is protected against
subtile activity on the internet.
The key to this easy web development approach is
ASP - Active Server Pages. This kind of techonology
has been around on Microsoft web servers for quite
some time, but now we are opening up the most reliable
and scaleable server on the planet to the same kind
of ASP tricks ...
Are programming
skills required ?
You can utilise your skills from:
 You
are a web designer with ASP experience and knows
what <%= xyz %> means or you have been working
with RPG programs on S/38 - AS/400 - IBM System i - i5
systems and knows what *INLR is.
Since
IBM introduced the "free-format-RPG" programming
language the life of RPG-programming has become
much easier - The syntax looks much like BASIC now.
However, IceBreak allows you to use both the fixed
format RPG as well as the free format layout.
