Free software for IBM i (System i, iSeries, AS400) developers
Make life easier for software developers and system analysts working on the IBM i power systems.
Projex4i is a collection of IBM i Software tools; utilities, commands and re-usable procedures. It’s full of time saving commands which are extensions to the operating system, enhancements to some IBM commands and improved replacements for others — it’s designed to make life easier for every developer, operator and user of the IBM i Power System.
With regular service packs, the Software Projex Toolkit is continually evolving and growing.
History
PGMRAID (1990-1996)
Born on the System/38, this was a collection of QUSRTOOL-like utilities. With the launch of the IBM AS/400 the toolkit quickly evolved to fill holes in the software development life cycle. File editing utilities, debugging tools and source code tidy-up routines
PROJEX400 (1997-2008)
Now running exclusively on the IBM AS400, the first major revamp saw a rewrite of the majority of RPG code to RPG400 and a slew of new cool tools for the AS400 and iSeries. This was available as shareware for over ten years and over two thousand downloads
PROJEX4i (2008+)
The latest re-branding to align with IBM’s new operating system – welcome to IBM ‘i’. The Projex4i Toolkit has grown over the years and is now completely written in modern RPGLE /Free using the latest SQL and Stored procedure technologies.
