RPG WEB development tools   Complex techniques made simple

Easy400.net provides a number of tools that encourage RPG programmers in developing WEB applications on IBM System i.

Some history:

  • In July 1997, Giovanni B. Perotti, at that time working for IBM Italy, founded the site Easy400.ibm.it, for allowing AS/400 developers to know and to use the WEB RPG enabler named CGIDEV (the original name of CGIDEV2).
  • In the following eight years, Giovanni added to the site a number of other public source utilities.
  • When in July 2005 Giovanni retired from IBM, he started his new personal site, this one, Easy400.net, which has been continuously enhanced with new public source tools. Giovanni is still spending most of his time in providing support to the IBM i community.

Easy400.net is a "public source" site.
All the Easy400 tools
  • do not need any authorization code (they never expire, they are always enabled to run)
  • include sources
  • can be redistribuited, if this is done at no charge
  • can be re-engineered and / or integrated into private or commercial products, without requesting any permission, provided that those products carry different names from the Easy400.net original tools.
To know what utilities can be downloaded from this site:
  • see page Tools for short descriptions
  • see page Documentation to access the documentation of each utility.

All the site utilities are repeatedly updated, as fixes or new features are requested by subscribers.

The Easy400.net utilities are provided "AS IS" without any warranties of any kind.
The implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringment are expressly disclaimed. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. In no event will the Easy400.net site be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special or other consequential damages for any use of this material, including, without limitation, any lost profits, business interruption, loss of programs or other data on your information handling system or otherwise, even if we are expressly adviced of the possibility of such damages.
For any question, please contact the site owner: Giovanni B. Perotti.

Worked 39 years for IBM Italy. Started with OS/360, went through 370, enjoyed System/38 and landed on the greatest system of them all: AS/400. I was used to play two roles, manager and professional at the same time.
In year 1997 I got a major stroke when I discovered the easy way to make WEB from some Mel Rothman's work, CGIDEV. That day I started a mission: enable AS/400 programmers to build WEB sites using their existing knowledge.
After retiring in year 2005 I decided to carry on with my own site. Since then I've got more recognition than I ever had before.
