eBI Synetics Group, Inc.'s AIMFREE Version 1.0

AIMFREE is a simple-to-use yet powerful utility for upgrading your existing legacy RPG 400 and RPG ILE applications to the new V5R1 free-format syntax. Thus, it breathes new life into those old favorites and greatly improves the productivity of developers who write and maintain software on the AS/400 and iSeries.

Developer's Take

"The free-format syntax available now with V5R1 of RPG ILE from IBM brings RPG into the 21st century, while retaining those features of RPG that we RPG purists love (i.e., the cycle). We at eBI sought to develop a tool that would take our existing code and bring it up to date with the latest syntax. I believe we have achieved this with AIMFREE."
--James Norton, Developer
