RPG Toolbox
Linoma's RPG Toolbox will greatly improve the productivity of developers
who write and maintain software on the iSeries. The Toolbox allows
you to modernize your RPG programs, write applications faster and
maintain source code more effectively. It was designed and developed
by RPG programmers for RPG programmers.
RPG Toolbox Features
The Toolbox contains an abundance of easy-to-use productivity tools
for everyday use. The primary capabilities of the Toolbox allow
you to:
- Convert RPG III and RPG/400 source code to modernized RPG IV
syntax.
- Rejuvenate existing RPG IV source code to take advantage of
the most modern syntax available for your OS/400 release.
- Convert RPG IV fixed-format C specifications to the new free-form
syntax available in V5R1.
- More effectively work within IBM's Source Entry Utility (SEU)
using over 70 new line commands.
- Quickly find and insert pre-defined source code (Snippets) into
your source, right from within SEU. Over 140 code Snippets are
shipped with the Toolbox, plus you can create your own Snippets.
- Define your own custom SEU line commands to launch OS/400 commands
or to insert your own source code Snippets.
- Save source code lines into Toolbox memory (similar to Microsoft
Window's Clipboard), and then view/insert these lines at a later
time within any SEU session in your job.
- Color your source code or convert its case to upper, lower or
mixed.
- Document nested logic within RPG IV source by marking the beginning/ending
of IFs, DOs, etc.
- Indent nested free-form RPG logic for readability.
Designed and developed by

History
The predecessor to the RPG Toolbox is a product called CVTILERPG,
which was released in 1996 by Linoma Software. Its primary purpose
was for converting RPG III and RPG/400 source code to RPG IV syntax.
CVTILERPG has been used by customers all over the world, including
IBM, to successfully convert and enhance virtually hundreds of thousands
of RPG programs.
While CVTILERPG was very effective at RPG conversion, it also
proved itself as a valuable learning aid for programmers moving
to RPG IV. CVTILERPG's solid functionality and educational aspects
earned praise from well-known RPG experts and instructors, and generated
a number of outstanding product reviews. CVTILERPG is also used
by IBM within their "Modernizing RPG" classes.
In mid-2001, CVTILERPG was renamed to Linoma's RPG Toolbox and
was dramatically enhanced to give RPG programmers even more productivity
tools and features.
Attention licensed CVTILERPG users:
If you are a currently licensed CVTILERPG user you may still download
and install the trial version of RPG Toolbox without interfering
with CVTILERPG. The RPG Toolbox is installed into a different library.
