RPG Makes Friends with Open-Source Apps


Presenter: Richard Schoen

I come from the world of the traditional RPG developer, and I arrive bearing open-source peace offerings for my fellow IBM i travelers. When I started my IBM i development journey back in the eighties I was constantly developing custom RPG programs and CL command utilities to help get work done easier. After 30+ years the journey continues to discover the perfect integration for IBM i.  Even though there is  no perfect integration technology.

In this session you’ll learn about useful ways to integrate between traditional languages such as RPG and CL and the open-source stack available on IBM i, allowing you to do many of the things you thought were impossible with RPG. Our RPG and CL integration examples will primarily focus on Python. However, this integration approach is relevant for any of the open-source languages or applications, including Python, Bash Scripts, QShell/PASE commands, Java, PHP, Node.JS and others. By adopting the techniques learned in this session your RPG and CL toolbox has just been tripled in size.

 You won’t want to miss this inspiring open-source technical session.
